I got a chance to sit briefly with Pete and talk about today’s start of the Iditarod 2013.

Under the the backdrop of Denali an excited group of mushers met up and hit the trail this afternoon in Willow. It was a festive atmosphere as Pete and the Team entered the Start Chute. I asked him how long it would take the team to get over the pre-race jitters and get back to a race grind. He said just a few miles up the trail it would be back to normal with the Team putting paws to the trail.
We are still in the midst of getting back to a place where all of the photos can be uploaded. I have interviews, photos, and video of the day. It was truly wonderful!
To give you a taste of what is to come, here is a photo of Team ready to rock the Iditarod Trail.
