Welcome to Nome
Wednesday, March 15, 2000 (12:03am PST)
"I feel super satisfied that I was able to do it and I had the opportunity to do it. And I definitely found my limits. Riding to Nome is as far as I can go, I couldn't go another pedal more...."
Dogs Trotting Right on By
Tuesday, March 14, 2000 (6:11pm PST)
"Rick just had his dogs trotting right on by me. I was standing there walking, working as hard as I could to try to make the bike turn, and I was pretty frustrated with the snow conditions...."

Monday, March 13, 2000 (10:23am PST)
"It's just been a character-building two days on Norton Sound. Life is pretty difficult out here and it seems like the closer I get to Nome the harder it is to keep going...."
No Free Lunch
Saturday, March 11, 2000 (9:43pm PST)

Wednesday, March 8, 2000 (7:47pm PST)

The Immense, Serpentine Yukon River
Wednesday, March 8, 2000 (11:47am PST)
"I'm eating Tylenol like...the bottle says you're only supposed to eat eight a day, well I'm eating like 16 a day and then that's not even including the ibuprofen I'm eating. I feel like I'm a walking pharmaceutical experiment...."
Team Slacker Dissolves
Wednesday, March 8, 2000 (11:40am PST)
"Some of the really big news is Stamstad and I have split up. Team Slacker is dissolved. John just has not been able to recover from his superhuman effort on the Extreme Race and he was really hoping that when we got onto the Yukon that he was going to be pretty recovered from that race. And that just hasn't happened...."
200 Miles in the Bag
Tuesday, March 7, 2000 (8:57am PST)
"Feet are swollen, hands are swollen, eyes are swollen; we're just hammered right now but we are super happy to be on the Yukon..."
