Try to Hold Them Back at First
The dogs want to run. And 16 put together are very, very powerful. The musher rides the break quite a bit the first part of the race. Watching the Iditarod is like the " Super Bowl" here in Alaska. The fans are young and old alike. This event appeals to many and for such a variety of reasons- challenge, adventure, love of animals, excitement, drama, strategy, etc.
