Junior Iditarod Vet Check

by Jane Blaile

 

Between schools today, I stopped by headquarters to see what was going on.  Some Jr. Iditarod mushers were there for the vet check.  I stopped to talk to one, Amanda.  She is 17, and her mom mentioned that this was, of course, going to be her last one. She has run 2 before.  Of course, I asked her what her mushing plans were for next year.  Amanda is going to race mid-distance races next year and then hopes to enter the 2010 Iditarod.  Good luck, Amanda, and all Jr. Iditarod mushers!
