I am IN!

Some great news to come after the excitement of following this year's Iditarod Trail Invitational (ITI). I completed the 350-mile race, between Anchorage and McGrath, in 2015. Now I get the chance to go back and do the full distance (1000 miles). Although I completed the 1000-mile Yukon Quest route solo in 2016, that was a solo venture at my own pace, without much of a time-pressure. The ITI will be the biggest distance race I have ever undertaken, and the prospect of an unfamiliar trail and some potentially brutal conditions make it a daunting prospect. Still, this is why we do these things, and I look forward to seeing a few good friends at the start line.
