A note on strategy

Our region—above the Arctic Circle—has gained so much daylight already that mushers only need headlamps a few hours each night. But that also means it’s all that much more important to use that night time to mush and try to rest during the heat of the day...1/

While humans may be wide awake in the early/mid-afternoon, sled dogs often have the least daily energy at that time and have the most energy during the dark nocturnal hours—which also happen to be the time the trail itself might be the hardest/fastest (depending on weather)... 2/

So it’s ideal if teams can rest in the warm sun during “the heat of the day.” 3/
