Wow 2,000 miles...
Real men are still real.
Best of Luck Todd!
Go Todd go! Run Sarah run! God Bless America!
Went to see how they run the two-man teams (2 men, two machines. I’m guessing that both sleds need to come across at about the same time). Then wanted to read a story of a race for some flavor. Found this one, with a snippet:

“We spent some time trying to locate the trail, looping around and backtracking, but by this point we were thoroughly lost. We stopped and pulled out our compass and maps. We had already been on the trail for about 16 hours since our start in Big Lake. We were exhausted and all getting close to hypothermia, especially me. When you are in that condition, maps and compasses do not make any sense. Later, back at home when we looked at the maps, it would have been so easy to continue and use our compass to go on through the storm.”
