9 MARCH 1998. ALASKA: IDITAROD

High temperatures and sunshine are forcing dog sled teams to run at night on the Iditarod Race from Anchorage to Nome. Dog teams work best and avoid overheating at temperatures below 0 F. Some mushers are using reflective doggie jackets to keep huskeys from overheating. --David Duffy <afdcd1@uaa.alaska.edu>
