We got picked up in Anchorage, loaded a u-haul with bikes and sleds and gear, rode a school bus 1.5 hours north to Big Lake…and jumped immediately into a 10 mile trek together.

Ok I’m going to start sharing a one billion-tweet thread on ITI Camp—for the impatient, it’s all already on my Instagram starting here:

It’s going to take some time for me to go through my photos, notes, and thoughts to share about #itialaskacamp #itialaska. But this one image is a good high-level summary. 18/10, no notes. Amazing.

Normal people: “A buffer day before camp! Time to sleep in, take it easy, do some tourist stuff?”
Me, bored after waiting 4 hours to not get to the largest Nordic ski network in in Anchorage TOO soon before first light:

Final #itialaskacamp prep tasks. The hardest part is explaining to the dogs why they aren’t invited!

For those wondering what the heck I’m doing going to Alaska in the dead of winter: the Iditarod Trail Invitational Training Camp is a 5-day camp teachi…...

Remaining #itialaskacamp prep tasks have reduced to single-page to-do list and schedule. I will be cutting down the field-wax and edge tools to trail travel size at work on Tuesday, but otherwise everything should be done today.
Getting so real!

Just spent over 100$ on batteries, so I think it’s safe to say we’ve entered the “panic buying” stage of ITI Camp prep.
