With the start of the greatest so called race in the North I have to say I missed it...and for all things some extra work. I had to go in and do a Corneal Transplant on a young child. My wife and I had gone the previous year and did a lot of standing around looking at hundreds of dogs and people. The start was nice to say to everyone "Outside" that we were there for it. It consisted of watching a lot of people going by on very slow out of the gate sleds. So last year was fine but no big deal to miss it the following year. Another good point is that the Yukon Quest is a much more difficult race which is between Fairbanks and Whitehorse. They actually had to rescue 13 racers out of a blizzard this year so if I was to be a recurring watcher of a sled dog race it would have to be that race first and foremost.
