Please ask your Rookies!

Zuma (the K-9 reporter for Iditarod, click Zuma's Paw Prints if you've never read Zuma.... ) got a GREAT questions today....

Someone asked if the rookies felt 'overwhelmed' especially with so many rookies having signed up for the race... there will be a lot of 'new' mushers on the the trail.

Does anyone have thoughts about this? Has your rookie musher talked about this? Will you be talking or communicating with your rookies soon? If so, this is a great question to discuss!

One of my rookies said he was feeling somewhat overwhelmed after the rookie meeting. He expressed some nervesousness about the upcoming Iditarod. However, I think it is a postive for him to feel this way so he will be more aware of things. Also he is preparing for a qualifing race this weekend.
