Someone i care about told me they felt like a failure because they tried so many things and quit. Trying something out is living, putting it down when you want to is self care; it's HEALTHY. So many people are afraid to even try.

If you are in Seattle and you want good, warming coffee like they make in Mexico City, I cannot recommend this place strongly enough. I'm about to drive from Lynnwood (again) to have it.

I said something earlier about YQA not having the trails marked and mushers having to walk their teams.
Iron Dog is running out of fuel in checkpoints - more ungroomed trail means more fuel consumption.
Sucks for everyone rn.

It's prob my bedtime, but in the YQA Josi has just checked in for her mandatory 8 and then she's off to the finish line.
Jonah is maybe stopped? Either that or his tracker is having issues.
The Mackeys are closing in on Rampart, where Patrick will surely be returned from the aliens.

This picture, for no particular reason, made me think of how things like dog races are joy multipliers.
Anything can be, I guess.
The dog get joy, the mushers get (sometimes) joy, fans get (sometimes) joy. Photographers and volunteers and handlers.

Okay #UglyDogs, stopped to get food to break up my 7 hour drive home and imported my photos from today while here, so here's one of @quincemountain.bsky.social on his way to the finish line! More photos of all the finishers to come tomorrow once I have slept. #UP200 #MusherSky

Found this bottle of “Microsoft Brainwash” that my dad had on his desk as long as I can remember.
Finding it now and reading “We want you for life” after my dad died in October at his desk working through the weekend while sick with covid to meet a Microsoft work deadline is pretty fucked actually.

One or both (prob both) Mackeys are stopped on the trail. Jonah is making progress, slow and steady. Looks like he might be breaking trail again. Josi is less than 100 miles from the finish and has rocked this.
Yukon Quest Alaska 750 or some distance. Maybe 850, maybe 688.

Another year, another win for The Race That Eats Its Young #bm100
A runner has to begin loop 4 by the 36 hour mark in order to continue. Neither Damian nor Sébastien will finish loop 3 in time to begin loop 4; however, if they complete loop 3 within 40 hours they will be credited with a Fun Run. #BM100

The Bacon's tracker has woken up and says he is going 0.5 MPH. Does this mean anything?
We will know soon

Oh dammit I know why I ran out of my night time meds now.
We upped them by a pill last time at the doc but she sent the old qty as my prescription. Shes on maternity leave and I'm fighting with her fill in as it is.
Sigh.

Jonah reports that the trail into Rampart was gone for the last 10 miles. He snow shoed in front of the team to lead them.
They will be bedding down for "a while", sled was loaded with food etc in preparation.

So I carved off a lean chunk of the steak before cooking it,
And made sure to set it on the edge of my plate, after I was done.
And then to look the other way. To let her steal it.
I got her her favorite thing, for her birthday -
Crime.

The Baconator is either stopped in the CP and the map is wrong or he's stopped a mile outside of it. It was a slow march (prob literally) in, time will tell if he keeps going. Deke has said that Jonah will talk to some locals and see if the trail is even passable. #MusherSky

Team NakedBacon in with the updates - Jonah has a lot of someone's gear on - I suspect Deke. They swapped pants, parkas and boots.
And! Bacon is headed to Rampart to rest and talk to the locals to see if the weather makes things impassable.
