앵커리지에서 북쪽으로 1시간 거리를 달려서 개 썰매 본부를 찾았다. 이 곳의 모든 것은 개와 관련된 것이었는데, 마치 강아지 기념품가게 같은 느낌이었다. 귀여운 강아지 인형을 비롯해, 온갖 종류의 경주견과 그들이 썰매대회에 참가해 활약했던 모습이 그림엽서로 진열돼 있었다. 온통 개와 관련된 물건들이 빈 공간을 꽉 채우고 있어 나는 조금 당황스러웠다. 심지어 화장실 복도에도 개들의 사진이 빼곡히 걸려 있을 정도였다. 이 건물의 한쪽에선 개 썰매에 관한 다큐멘터리 영화가 상영되고 있었다. 겨울이 춥고 길어 썰매가 필수 교통수단이었던 시절, 인간과 개는 서로의 생존에 필수적인 관계였다. 얼어붙은 강과 황량한 툰드라 그리고 깎아지른 산비탈을 지나 가족의 목숨을 구할 수 있었던 것은 바로 이 개 썰매가 있었기 때문이다. 1967년 처음 열린 개 썰매 대회는 1925년의 일을 기념하기 위한 것이었다. 디프테리아에 걸린 아이들의 목숨을 구하기 위해, 700마일의 거리를 밤낮없이 달려 의약품을 실어 온 것이 바로 개 썰매였다.

By running an hour's drive north from Anchorage I found a dog sled headquarters. Eotneunde that everything related to dogs in this place, it felt like a dog gift shop. Cute dogs, including dolls, all kinds of gyeongjugyeon and the appearance that they were active in participating in the sled competition gotta popping into postcards. All related to dogs and stuff it full fills the empty space I was a little embarrassed. Even the bathroom is in the hallway one of the photos was hanging tightly enough. In one of these buildings documentary film about a dog sled it was being screened. The long cold winter sleigh essential means of transportation were the days, man and dog relationship was essential to the survival of the other. Frozen rivers and through the desolate tundra and the sheer slopes of a family could save lives just because it was a dog sled. 1967 dog sled competition was first held to commemorate the day in 1925. To save the lives of children suffering from diphtheria, it ran a distance of 700 miles without the drugs that night and was immediately put on a dog sled.

STORYLINE
NOME, Alaska (AP) _ Dallas Seavey won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race on Tuesday evening, becoming the youngest musher to win the nearly 1,000-mile race across Alaska.
Seavey turned 25 on March 4, the day the race officially started north of Anchorage. He was the first musher to reach Nome, his nine dogs trotting under the famous burled-arch finish line in the Bering Sea coastal community at 7:29 p.m. Tuesday.
The winner greeted family and friends briefly, then turned to hug his dogs.
They mean the world to me, said Seavey, of Willow, about 50 miles north of Anchorage.
I could not be prouder of these guys. It's hard to not come to tears when they finally crossed under this arch in first place.
He finished in nine days, four hours and 29 minutes.
When you put your mind on something ... good things will happen, he told the crowd.
Dream big! he said as he sat with an arm around each of his two lead dogs, Guinness and Diesel, who wore their own yellow floral garlands. Go for it! Why not?
The previous youngest winner was the race's only five-time champion, Rick Swenson, who won his first Iditarod at age 26 in 1977. Swenson, now 61, is in this year's race, and was running in the middle of the pack.
Asked about his record-breaking victory, Seavey said it's been a goal since he started racing competitively.
He said his race strategy was to build position carefully.
Heading into the Ruby checkpoint, Seavey thought his team had a real possibility of winning. Still, while he felt confident, it's not over till you're sitting on the podium, he said.
Of the race's latter stages, when mushers are notoriously sleep-deprived, Seavey said, every light that I thought I saw, I thought it was the headlights of a musher about to pass me.
When you have Ramey Smyth and Aliy Zirkle behind you, it doesn't matter if they're a half day behind you. You'd better be looking over your shoulder, he added.
Zirkle finished second, Smyth was third.
It's a family affair for the Seaveys. Dallas' father, Mitch, 52, won the race in 2004. He was racing in seventh place when Dallas crossed the finish line.
This year, Dallas' 74-year-old grandfather, Dan, is running in his fifth Iditarod to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Iditarod Trail. His trip to Nome is being sponsored by the Iditarod Historic Trail Alliance to highlight the rich history of the trail.
It's kind of what we do, Dallas Seavey said when asked about that legacy.
Long hours, months and years of training with the dogs brought musher and team to this point.
I feel like, somewhat like these dogs, I've been raised for this as well, he said.
Two of 1978 winner Dick Mackey's sons have also won, Rick Mackey in 1983 and Lance Mackey from 2007-2010.
Dallas Seavey was the first musher to leave White Mountain after completing a mandatory eight-hour layover to rest his dogs. The second musher out was Aliy Zirkle, and Dallas Seavey maintained his lead for the last 77 miles of the trail from White Mountain to the finish line in Nome.
Dallas Seavey has been described by his father as fiercely competitive. The former Alaska high school wrestling champion, who also spent a year at the U.S. Olympic Training Center before turning his attention back to dogs, was the first musher to reach the White Mountain checkpoint at 12:14 a.m. Alaska time.

Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race begins in Alaska
(5 Mar 2018) Mushers and their dogs are hitting the snowy trail as Alaska's famed Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race begins following a rough year for organizers.
Musher Cody Strathe of Fairbanks and his 16-dog team were the first to take off on Sunday across frozen Willow Lake, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) north of Anchorage.
Sixty-seven teams are signed up for the long-distance trek over mountain ranges, frozen rivers and other dangerous terrain. The winner is expected to reach the finish in the old Gold Rush town of Nome in about nine days.
The race is taking place after organizers spent much of the year dealing with multiple problems, including a champion's dog doping scandal, the loss of a major sponsor and escalating pressure from animal rights activists.

Sled Dog Mushing in Alaska | Iditarod Training | Whitney
Throwback to the summer of 2013. Whitney and her family went on an excursion to a sled dog musher’s camp near Skagway, Alaska. The dogs were amazing…smart, well trained, and strong. The dogs and mushers spend the summer months pulling tourists around trails so that they will be in great condition when winter comes and it’s time for the legendary Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Everybody had a great time even though it was raining. Blakely stayed home with grandma for this trip, but we added Cousin Wyatt into the mix.
From Wikipedia: The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is an annual long-distance sled dog race run in early March from Anchorage to Nome. Mushers and a team of 16 dogs, of which at least 6 must be on the towline at the finish line, cover the distance in 9–15 days or more.[1] The Iditarod began in 1973 as an event to test the best sled dog mushers and teams but evolved into today's highly competitive race. The current fastest winning time record was set in 2014 by Dallas Seavey with a time of 8 days, 13 hours, 4 minutes, and 19 seconds.

Sorry for the jello in the video. It turns out there was a crack in the quadcopter frame that was causing extra vibrations to the camera (GoPro Hero3+)
Iditarod Start! Welcome to Alaska!
Today was the start of the Iditarod: The Last Great Race. For those who don't know, the Iditarod is a dog sled race from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska - 1,049 miles! It will take over a week for the eventual winner to reach Nome. The race is also an Alaskan tradition and requires a massive mobilization of volunteers, equipment, and supplies across the entire state. For those of you who wanted to 'see' some of Alaska in my videos, there is no better place to start than this. It is Alaska's version of the Super Bowl. Everyone up here loves the Iditarod! So welcome to Alaska, everyone! Go Team Buser!

The dogs don't know we won last year, they don't know what we did, so I might as well just join suit and forget about what's happened in the past. I'm going take everything I learned from that race and apply it to this one, and I sure hope that causes us to win again.

STORYLINE
Mushers and their dogs took a leisurely jaunt through Anchorage in Alaska on Saturday in the ceremonial start of the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
It was all laughs, smiles and barks as 66 teams posed with fans before sailing their sleds 11 miles (17 kilometres) on streets covered with trucked-in snow.
Each sled carried an Iditarider, a fan who won the short ride at auction.
The event came ahead of Sunday's real, competitive start of the race in Willow, 50 miles (80 kilometres) to the north.
Once the race clock starts ticking, mushers and their team of dogs will make their way through unforgiving wilderness toward the finish line in the old frontier town of Nome on Alaska's western coast, one-thousand-mile (1,609 kilometres) from Willow.
The winner will get a new truck and 50,400 US dollars.
The rest of the 600-thousand dollar purse will be split between the next 29 mushers to cross the finish line.
Participants in the 41st running of the race include six past Iditarod winners, including last year's winner, Dallas Seavey, and his father, Mitch.
Seavey Junior is also among six past winners of the 1,000-mile Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race, held just weeks before the Iditarod.
Lance Mackey of Fairbanks, the only musher to ever win both races the same year, resigned from the Quest in February because of a team of ailing dogs.
He is going for a fifth win in the Iditarod.

PETA Protests Iditarod Sled Dog Race
(4 Mar 2018) The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, facing perhaps its most challenging year, kicked off with the fan-friendly ceremonial start in downtown Anchorage, Alaska, on Saturday.
Defending champion Mitch Seavey said his team is super ready and he's ready to hit the nearly thousand-mile trail for Nome.
His toughest challenger isn't in the race, however. His son Dallas, a four-time champion, is sitting out this year's race in protest after race officials said four of his dogs tested positive last year for a banned substance. He denies he gave his dogs the opioid painkiller tramadol.
Race organizers said they couldn't prove Seavey did it and didn't sanction him. More pressure came from the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which for the first time protested the race in person in Alaska.
PETA also has done much to target sponsors, and Wells Fargo dropped race sponsorship in the last year.
The race will have its official start Sunday about 75 miles north of Anchorage, and the winner is expected in the Bering Sea coastal community of Nome in about nine days.
It's the last trail ride for one popular musher. DeeDee Jonrowe, who is 64, is running her 36th and final race. The fan favorite ran her first Iditarod in 1980.
