**__About the cold__** I don’t like when it’s cold outside. I never did, I don’t know why. So when I go outside to go snowboard I look at the thermometer and if it’s the perfect temperature I’ll go outside. It hurts my hands.

Swingley was pulled out of the 2004. Iditarod race because he got a frost bite in his eyes. A Frost bite is the narrowing part of blood vessels close to the skin. Doug had frozen his eyes during the race. The frost bite is the bodies attempt to stay warm. Frost bite to the eyes would have caused blindness. Wear eye protection like goggles when you’re out at extended periods.

The weather in Alaska is terrible I feel sorry for those poor dogs that are racing in the Iditarod dog sled race. Frostbite would be common in the race. There was a racer in 2004 that got frostbite in his eyes, that would of hurt it made him go blind. The weather is 50 degrees below 0.

The history of Alaska, the first Iditarod dog sled race was in 1973. The record for the most people in one race was 95 people. Most of the racers drop out. Balto lead a dog sled team ANCHORAGE TO Nome pulling medicine

I could meet the teams and mushers. My mushers name is Matt Hayashida he is 34 years old and he has been working with Martin Buser. My mushers bib number is 5.
