The 2,503-mile trek across Alaska is tabbed, “The World’s longest, toughest snowmobile race.”
The teams lined up their snowmachines to go through a tech inspection and safety expo, as well as draw the racing order ahead of Friday’s start in Big Lake.“We’re all hanging out here getting to talk about trail conditions, what training woes we may have had,” said Tyler Aklestad of Team 7, the defending Iron Dog Champions. “It is a great opportunity for the comradery of the race to kind of start to come together as well as a little competitiveness amongst the racers.
”I think are definitely looking good,” Aklestad said. “If it’s a fashion contest, I think we are doing alright. Now, we just have to do the rest of the thing, put it together.” ”I think what a lot of people do is they take their race when they have a bad race, and reflect on it,” Boylan said at the tech inspection. “What we try to do is, when we have a good race, reflect on it. Yeah, the outcome wasn’t good, obviously being in that position and getting second isn’t great, but there’s a lot of things that we did right that year that we didn’t necessarily plan for.”
