This might be the tip of the iceberg for the new normal. Not only has the race course changed but also has our training conditions over the last few years. What used to be the snow belt has recently become the ice and rain belt. This makes training for long distance events more and more difficult in the Big Lake. When 4 wheelers and treadmills become part of the norm, one has to be extremely dedicated to the sport to train up a great team to compete in the Iditarod.
