Our next guest is Kai Leddy. She and her partner, Elliott, run their own kennel in Talkeetna — Celestial Sled Dog Kennel. Leddy has been competing in mid-distance races for over a decade and most recently helped spearhead the newest Iditarod qualifier in the Willow area, the Su Dog 300.
We talk about the inaugural event, and with Sean and Leddy having lived and worked together for over a year, it was fun getting the band back together and reminiscing. This was recorded pre-Iditarod — enjoy!

Episode 61 - Jonah Bacon
Our guest in this episode is Jonah Bacon, who is just days removed from completing the inaugural Yukon Quest 750. Naturally, we almost entirely talked about his experience on the trail, we were on the edge of our seat!In the intro, we talked about the Fur Rondy festival and sprint sled dog race. Sean thought you couldn't get funnel cake there but upon further review he learned that you definitely can (after the recording). Feels great to have our first guest in awhile, enjoy!Intro - 0:00Jonah interview/recount Yukon Quest - 16:18Frostbite.nip - 1:19:00Closeout on Yukon Quest - 1:25:00Dog team - 1:30:00Non Yukon Quest - 1:35:00

We are back after a winter Mushing Alaska slumber. We were able to catch up on some of the races in January, check in with the Quest (a lot has happened since we recorded), and just get the ball rolling as the sun comes back and all the dogs are in primetime shape, enjoy!
