White Mountains -- Part 4 -- Getting Ready To Run

Part 4 of our White Mountains mini-series started out as another time time-lapse look at what it's like when the teams arrive "on location" and get ready to run. Although the video looked useful for illustrating the overall process of dropping and feeding the dogs, sorting gear and sleds, laying out lines, etc., it also looked a little boring and I didn't think a musical background would save it.

So, I rummaged through my bag of AV goodies and found a piece of audio that I had recorded during breakfast on our way to the White Mountains. Not only is it a good discussion of where we're going and why, but it spotlights just how much we were focused on getting ready for the start of racing season at the Sheep Mountain 150. As usual whenever the SP Kennel crew gets together, there's also some good humor and banter.

You'll have to split your attention a little bit to see one thing and hear another, but I think you'll find it all informative, entertaining and more than just a little ironic.
