=ASSIGNMENT #1: HISTORY OF THE IDITAROD=

In 1925 a life-or-death race to rescue the children of Nome ak from disease made an international hero of one sled dog named Balto and eventually led to the creation of Alaskas Iditarod sled dog race.

What they would have faced in this race is frequently going through blizzards and going through -100 weather and they went through really strong winds.

The most famous event in the history of Alaskan mushing is the 1925 serum of Nome also known as the great race of mercy A diphtheria epidemic threatend Nome especially the inuit as the who had no immunity to the white mans disease and the nearest quanity of antitoxin was in Anchorage.

=ASSIGNMENT #2: WEATHER IN ALASKA= Cold to me is getting really cold feet and hands. It also means you get really bad colds and get really sick.I also don`t like the cold because it can get so cold your toes feel like they will fall off. FROZEN RACING SLEDS OUCH STUCK TEETH CHATTERING BITTER ICE TTINGLING EXCITING

DougSwingly dropped out of the race because he had some torn ribs and he also dislocated a thumb and he felt that he could not handle taking care of his dogs.To me he is a very tough guy and it must really hurt.What I would have learned is that he tried so hard to not give up.

The dogs have something called bootys to pertect them from snowhazerds and ice.iditarod mushers have their own ideas about how to run the race.Each one must decide how many miles to run on a given day,when to run,what to eat while on the trail,and the best places to stop and rest since time is an important part of any race,most mushers do not get very much sleep while on the trail it is essential for the mushers to train in order to keep alert in spite of the lack of sleep,since there are many dangers in the wilderness,such as wild animal attacks or blinding snow storms!!
