NICE JOB! I’m proud of you and your dogs! I wish I was there to hug your dogs! Good luck on the Iditarod trail…its going to be a hard one. You’re dogs can do it! Training in Paxton should have given them a good deal of streanth for all the snow. You wanted snow dude! you got it!
Mush On!
Much Love!

Bear Creek Cabin

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 08:12:37 +0000

We made it to the Bear Creek Cabin, which is about 32 miles short of Nikolai. Its been a wild ride as usual. Rainy Pass was windy, but not too bad. Visibility was a real challenge as the light was more than flat. I managed to flip my machine on its side twice. Good thing [...]

Rainy Pass

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 18:57:24 +0000

Short report from 10.30 to 2 p.m. It is 10.30 and by now there are 5 teams into Rainy Pass. Jim Lanier 71 years young was the last team in. Melissa: “he got a black dog in there?”. My comment: “he needs to drop that”. Hugh and Lance both had some breedings happening, Iditarpuppies! Some [...]

Rainy Pass

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 18:09:05 +0000

Ray Redington pulled into the Rainy Pass checkpoint first. His dogs looked very energetic. Barking to go. He quickly loaded his food drop bags and headed to his parking spots. The vet crew eagerly waiting. Almost within sight came Hugh Neff onto Puntilla Lake. His team also looked nice and strong. It took Hugh a [...]

First Team in. Ray Redington Jr. Started first, came in first. Also came in with a bit of a gap to the second team, being Jody Baily. We passed her coming in alongside a big bonfire. Come to think of it, she had a bale of Straw strapped to the sled, so she might have [...]

Iditarod 2012, Ceremonial Start, 40th Edition.

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 11:08:54 +0000

First off, I have to admit I overslept this morning. I guess that is how it goes, if you are not a musher pumped full of adrenaline. Got to 4th Avenue late, was kicked out I do not how many times from the dog staging area, that I lost count. And that was even with [...]

Sebastian finished the Iditarod 2010

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:16:40 +0000

Sebastian just passed under the arch in Nome and finished his Iditarod 2010 with 13 dogs. Unfortunately he didn’t win but he placed on a very good 7th place.

Lance Mackey wins the Iditarod 2010

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:00:30 +0000

While Sebastian is heading for the last 77 miles to Nome, Lance Mackey makes history is now the first musher winning the Iditarod 4 times in a row. GRATULATION LANCE – GOOD JOB !!!

On the way to Ophir

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:59:12 +0000

Mar 11 – 3.00 AK (13.00 MEZ) In the official standing Sebastian is “only” in 12th position, but when we take into count that he already spend his mandatory 24h layover (together with Jeff King, Hugh Neff and Mitch Seavey) then we see him in the Top-4.

On the way to Nikolai

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:36:45 +0000

Mar 9 – 4:30 AK (14:30 MEZ) Sebastian leads the pack with about 9 miles before Mitch Seavey, Hugh Neff and John Baker – hoping that’s not a disadvantage as it snowed some feets last week and so he has to break trail.

Percy de Wolfe

Sebastian and Mark are running the Percy de Wolfe today at 10:00 h (19:00 MEZ) at Dawson City. The race goes over 210 miles (336 km) to Eagle and back to Dawson City. Website Percy de Wolfe with live GPS-enabled map of the race.
