Cody arrived at Glennallen this morning at 7:19, after a smooth run in from Chistochina. The trail has been good, and he has been really pleased with how the dogs are doing. He is definitely tired, he has been up with the dogs most the of time, only getting an hour of sleep for himself during this last rest. On these shorter first two rests at Chistochina and Glennallen, the main priorities are getting the dogs fed and bedded down, and making sure they are looking good- checking for any injuries or soreness, leaving little time for anyone to get much rest. Cody has been taken great care of his team, and they are certainly showing it!
Cody and the team left Glennallen this afternoon at 1:20. His dogs were screaming to go! All 12 of his dogs are looking good, and running great. As they left the checkpoint they were going crazy, barking, jumping, and harness banging! They are totally pumped and looking awesome. His run into Wolverine will mostly be in the daylight today, which will help keep Cody awake, and he will take his mandatory 8 hour layover tonight, and hopefully catch up on sleep and get refreshed for the rest of the race.
Paige and Thomas haven't gotten much sleep either, these are crazy weekends and everything is constantly moving. Paige is on 0 hours of sleep, and Thomas was able to sneak in 2 hours. But, they are all really pumped with how everything is going! They just arrived in Tolsona. It is a 25 mile run for Cody to get to Tolsana, so they will see him later this afternoon, and he is planning at this point to continue through Tolsona and then onto Wolverine.
