Sorry for the late notice – I just found out that an Iditarod recap will air TONIGHT at 10 pm Eastern on CBS Sports Network. Find your channel here.
And if you’re really into dog sled racing, the Volga Quest is on just before, at 9 pm Eastern.
Set your DVR now if you won’t be home. (Small joke – who isn’t staying home these days?)
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Perhaps I should have posted this earlier, so the checkpoints I am posting daily would make more sense. As you can see, the mushers are following the northern route this year (they alternate between northern and southern), and the top mushers have reached the shores of the Bering Sea at Unalakleet.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
The action today centers around Unalakleet checkpoint.
Thomas Waerner, who has taken over the lead, left at 15:05, followed by
