By oddJoe ⋅ January 17, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Alaskan musher Lance Mackey and his dog team outpaced 30 other mushers to take first place in this year’s Copper Basin 300 over the weekend. A warm up to his run in this year’s Iditarod Trail Race, Mackey completed the course in 49 hours and 18 minutes. When asked how he felt after the race, […]

Meet The Mushers: Randy Cummins

By oddJoe ⋅ January 16, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Dr. Randy is getting ready for his first Iditarod Trail Race. He took up the sport after watching the start of the annual race in Anchorage in 2001. He quit his Washington medical practice in 2003 and moved his family to Alaska so that he could pursue his dream. Randy has a very understanding family. […]

Meet The Mushers: Cindy Gallea

By oddJoe ⋅ January 6, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Cindy probably holds that a family that mushes together, stays together. At least they would be cold together, I would imagine. Or maybe if they all huddle up they could stay warm together. However they stay together, her whole family is into the mushing. Her husband, Bill, ran the Iditarod Trail Race in 1986, inspiring […]

Meet The Mushers: Tim Osmar

By oddJoe ⋅ January 3, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Tim is part polar bear and was raised by wolves. I’m serious, this guy is like Grizzly Adams crossed with Nanook of the North. Tim has run the Iditarod Trail Race for more than 20 years and has finished out of the top 20 only once. His best finish came in 1992 when he placed […]

Meet The Mushers: Rachael Scdoris

By oddJoe ⋅ January 3, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

I would need to be blind drunk to agree to run the Iditarod, but Rachael is running the Last Great Race and she’s just plain blind. Born with Congenital Achromatopsia, this 20-year-old native of Bend, Oregon, has nonetheless excelled in several sports. She was captain of both her high school track and cross country teams […]

Meet The Mushers: Rick Swenson

By oddJoe ⋅ December 29, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Rick is a real legend among Iditarod mushers, for two reasons. First, he’s the only five-time champion. Second, he’s totally hooked up with hot musher-babe Kelly Williams. Rick is originally from Minnesota and moved to Alaska in 1973. He entered the Iditarod in 1976, placing 10th, then proceeded to win it the first time the […]

Meet The Mushers: Kelly Williams

By oddJoe ⋅ December 29, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Kelly has entered the Iditarod Trail Race four times and finished it twice. She is originally from Saskatchewan but now lived in Two Rivers, Alaska. That’s all I really know about Kelly, other than she’s the partner of five-time Iditarod champion Rick Swenson.

Meet The Mushers: Terry Adkins

By oddJoe ⋅ December 29, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Terry has been with the Iditarod from the beginning. Okay, maybe not back when the Iditarod Trail was actually a supply route, but he did help out as a veterinarian during the first trail race in 1973. Terry entered the race the next year and has finished seventeen times since then. Twice he has placed […]

Meet The Mushers: Glenn Lockwood

By oddJoe ⋅ December 29, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Glenn blames his son for getting him involved in dog sledding. You see, Glenn’s son, Brian, read Balto as a child so he naturally then wanted a Siberian husky. This led to buying another, because the first needed a companion, of course, and then one thing led to another (as they say) and few months […]
