I guess both these races need to have an all-women class for the more hardy that will meet the challenges of the races head on instead of holding up with a cup of tea and cookies when the weather or terrain gets a little tough.
I hope the women don't implement a rule that pauses the race for a broken nail.
I guess the Yukon Quest is the only true Last Great Race. How shameful.
Hey, Iron Dog, why don't you just have the racers run in circle on Big Lake for 1,000 miles instead. Ditto for the Iditarod, run the dog sleds along the Parks Highway to Fairbanks and back instead.
