ITI is soon and the final race prep is commencing! Before things get too hectic, I want to share some things that will be different about #ITIAlaska this year, compared to when I raced it two years ago 🧵

This morning’s ski. No sled, just an easy 90min relaxing loop on my home trails. It felt like cheating 😂

13 days until ITIAlaska start.

Last slow morning before ITI: snuggles, sofa, coffee.
.
And my act of self care: purchasing a plane ticket to a friend’s destination wedding in Ireland! I always have one fun and very concrete plan set for after a big adventure, as a reminder that there’s more to look forward to beyond the goal 🤍🇮🇪☘️🐑

Our car may currently be stuck in the kennel driveway’s ditch, but we’re here and doing this together so everything is perfect 🤍

We got to Sled Dog Camp in time to see the Shady Pines race team off. Have fun guys, make good choices!! The kennel is running two 30 mile teams at Wilderness Sled Dog Race this weekend up in Greenville Maine.

Hoar frost at 7am on this morning’s ski! It was real feel of 4f, meanwhile its 40f at the race start in Knik, AK🫠.
.
Hopefully my good luck continues and Ullr follows me west next week. The cold, NOT the piles of fresh snow!!

These two go to CampCT (my sister’s house) in 8 days! They are very ready to start their couch potato season, while I head to Alaska for ITI. 18 days until race start.

Congrats everyone you did it. Above freezing for the first time in 9 days. Longest stretch since 2018 (13 days). #wbz

21 days until #ITIAlaska

I train with older pairs/versions of gear I’ll use on the race for liners and base layers. They’re barely holding it together at this point…
Soon I’ll get to use the shiny new race layers! 22 days until #ITIalaska ⛷️

Quick afternoon ski on our home walking loop 🤍

A love letter to Ullr (Norse god of skiing, snow, and all things Winter)—thanks for choosing to hang in Boston this winter, of all winters. Your timing could not have been better ❄️🧊🤍

23 day until #ITIalaska start!

Just here to report that both Wylie and Wolfy are being exceptionally good dogs through all my training and logistics and prep for #ITIalaska.

They’re being left home on the sofa a lot more than they were in 2024…which is where they want to be. They’d just prefer I stayed there with them more 🤍

#ITIalaska drop bags are locked! 4.92 and 4.97lbs, respectively. Just under the limit. These will get mailed out to AK next week… race starts in under a month now!

Taking care of business this weekend, up in the Whites.

My cousin lives in North Minneapolis, is Latina, and has left her home once in the past week+. The one time she left (for church group), her neighborhood was quite literally invaded with squadrons of goons, helicopters, flash bangs and mystery gas. 🖕🏻🧊
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
