Thu, 1 March 2007 So, I would like MoCycling to be a podcast covering all the major news in Missouri and beyond but I am still working on acquiring some good sources. In the meantime, I wonder if I can get a Skype call setup with the new course record holder of the Iditarod Invitational Peter Basinger?I am curious to know his thoughts on the experience. I am sure many others would like to know what someone goes through in those conditions. The preparation, the gear and the emotions. I have yet to setup remote interviews through programs like Skype but am researching it right now. If I can get it to work well, then I anticipate making some calls and tracking down Peter for a conversation. Congrats to Peter, Carl Hutchings, Jim Jager and Jacques Boutet for completing the 350 mile journey. As of this writing, Joseph Dundee is the first to pass through McGrath for the 1100 mile trek to Nome. Conditions have worsened since last report. Winds are howling and about 8 racers are hold up at Puntilla. Hopefully the weather will change by tomorrow and they can get back to the trail. Steve Reifenstuhl has made it to CP 6 and is planning on leaving soon for McGrath. According to his brother Ricky, it will take Steve up to 16 hours to finish the last 50 miles in these conditions. I am not sure how to react to that. Category: general -- posted at: 10:11 PM Comments[1] |
