Podcasts about Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race

Remember when a bunch of dogs saved hundreds of human's lives in Alaska a century ago? In January of 1925, diphtheria, a deadly disease, swept through the village Nome, Alaska… killing multiple children. The town was frozen in for the winter. No roads in or out. No ships able to break through the ice in the sea around it. No planes able to fly through a winter so cold, temperatures on the ground would plummet to nearly -90 degrees Fahrenheit. The only hope to deliver life-saving anti-toxins to the area? Alaska's wildly hearty, determined, and heroic sled dogs. For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Montgomery's deal includes $11 million in guaranteed money. The Lions also agreed with cornerback Emmanuel Moseley on a $6 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with that deal told the AP. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because the deals can't be announced until Wednesday.

The tournament will now last nearly six weeks in June-July in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The decision adds 24 more games for the 16 host cities.

USA Soccer – US Soccer: Berhalter eligible to coach after investigation The U.S. Soccer Federation says Gregg Berhalter remains a candidate to stay on as men's national team coach after a report by a law firm concluded he did not improperly withhold information about a 1992 domestic violence allegation involving the woman who later became his wife. The report also concluded that Berhalter's conduct “likely constituted the misdemeanor crime of assault on a female” but that it was an isolated event. He can’t be prosecuted because of the two-year statute of limitations for misdemeanors. The law firm Alston and Bird was retained after the Reyna family reported the 30-year-old incident to the USSF. Iditarod – Grandson of Iditarod co-founder wins Alaska sled dog race Ryan Redington has won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, which his grandfather helped co-found. Redington's dog team pulled him down Nome's main street shortly after noon on Tuesday, sliding him under the iconic burled arch finish line.

USA Soccer – US Soccer: Berhalter eligible to coach after investigation The U.S. Soccer Federation says Gregg Berhalter remains a candidate to stay on as men's national team coach after a report by a law firm concluded he did not improperly withhold information about a 1992 domestic violence allegation involving the woman who later became his wife. The report also concluded that Berhalter's conduct “likely constituted the misdemeanor crime of assault on a female” but that it was an isolated event. He can’t be prosecuted because of the two-year statute of limitations for misdemeanors. The law firm Alston and Bird was retained after the Reyna family reported the 30-year-old incident to the USSF. Iditarod – Grandson of Iditarod co-founder wins Alaska sled dog race Ryan Redington has won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, which his grandfather helped co-found. Redington's dog team pulled him down Nome's main street shortly after noon on Tuesday, sliding him under the iconic burled arch finish line. The 40-year-old Redington will pocket about $50,000 for the win. Redington's grandfather, Joe Redington Sr., helped start the Iditarod, which had its first race in 1973. Ryan Redington, who is Inupiat, becomes the sixth Alaska Native musher to win the world's most famous sled dog race. This is first Iditarod victory, but he won the Junior Iditarod in both 1999 and 2000.

MLB – Major League Baseball – Spring Training Yesterday Detroit Tigers 6, Boston Red Sox 2 Chicago White Sox 5, Oakland A’s 4 Colorado Rockies 5, Chicago Cubs 2 Today Chicago White Sox at San Francisco Giants, 4:05 p.m. Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds 9:05 p.m. Tigers are off NFL – AP source: Lions add David Montogmery, Emmanuel Moseley The Detroit Lions and running back David Montgomery have agreed on an $18 million, three-year deal, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Montgomery’s deal includes $11 million in guaranteed money. The Lions also agreed with cornerback Emmanuel Moseley on a $6 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with that deal told the AP. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because the deals can’t be announced until Wednesday. Montgomery ran for 801 yards and five touchdowns last season in his fourth year with the Chicago Bears. He averaged 902 yards per season and 3.9 yards per carry with 26 career TDs. NFL – Bears agree to deal with Titans DE DeMarcus Walker The Chicago Bears have added help on the defensive line, agreeing to a deal with former Tennessee Titans defensive end DeMarcus Walker. Walker tweeted that he has an agreement in place with Chicago. The Bears agreed to a two-year contract extension with fullback Khari Blasingame through the 2025 season and a one-year extension with long snapper Patrick Scales. Offensive lineman Dieter Eiselen — an exclusive rights free agent — signed a one-year contract. Walker is coming off his best year, with a career-high seven sacks in his lone season with the Titans. He played for Denver from 2017 to 2020 and Houston in 2021. The Bears sorely needed help on the defensive line after finishing with a league-worst 20 sacks, their lowest total since the 2003 team had 18.

We have a quick bonus episode here for you, as Ryan Redington is on the home stretch to Nome, looking like he's going to claim his first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race championship. This is our morning Iditarod report, it has some different theme music, but it'll set things up for the finish.

On today's Midday Report with host Terry Haines: Ryan Redington has won the 2023 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The only Cook Inlet beluga whale in captivity is celebrating five years at his aquarium home. And Southeast weather nerds try to predict the future.

Ryan Redington has a secure hold on first place in the 2023 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, heading into the final 100 miles of trail. Meanwhile, one rookie musher had some trouble holding onto his dog sled, after falling asleep, falling off and getting a fortuitous lift. We have a listener question, not about losing a dog team, but about losing stuff along the Iditarod Trail. And it's a twofer of Dogs of the Day: Riley Dyche's smart and mellow Elway and Mike Williams Jr.'s smart and hyper Viper.

When snow covers the mountain behind our home, I love jumping in my truck and riding the back roads to the top of the mountain. The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking. During our last big snowfall, Mary Alice started pulling the winter gear from the closet. She knows there is always a danger of me getting stuck and having to walk, so she layered me up like a school kid. She offered earmuffs, but I opted for a stocking cap. She handed me my favorite gloves and wrapped a scarf around my neck. I was handed special sunglasses for the wind on top of the mountain. And lastly, I put on insulated socks and boots that could be worn in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska.I kissed my wife goodbye as she handed me a blanket. I slowly waddled to the truck, wondering how I would bend my legs to drive. After sliding on snowy back roads, I made it to the top. I parked and went for a walk through the frozen beauty, and I wasn't cold at all, because my whole body was protected from the cold.Later that evening, I reflected on the thoughtfulness of my wife. Then I started thinking about ways we can protect ourselves spiritually, such as we can protect our ears by refusing to listen to gossip and negative talk. We can protect our mouth by choosing our words carefully. We can protect our eyes by not reading negative social media posts all day long and being careful about what we watch on TV. The next time we put on a hat or a coat, let's ask ourselves, “Am I protecting today what matters most?” Remember, the best way to protect ourselves is by putting on the full armor of God.

Each year, in early March, a little Alaskan town called Nome acts as the finish line for the world's longest and most spectacular race—the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The race extends over 938 miles from Anchorage to Nome (more than the length of Texas), with the course record standing at seven days and fourteen hours, including two days of required rest for the dog teams. One of the most famous mushers (drivers) in the Iditarod's history is Aliy Zirkle, who competed in twenty-one races but never won, despite coming close multiple times. Many people might see this as a failure or a disappointment, but Ali herself flipped the script and defined her own success, knowing that she was one of the most remarkable mushers in history and not buying into any negative narrative about her race record.Flipping the script is something we can all do, and on today's episode, McKay discusses how to do it and reap the rewards. First up, he discusses negative thoughts and the huge drain they put on our time and energy. He suggests that these thoughts can be flipped by spending time each day writing a new script that fills your mind with positive thoughts to sustain you through the day. This is an important skill both for ourselves and those around us, and McKay uses the example of how parents may be scripting anxiety into their kids to illustrate the impact that flipping the script to something more positive can have on our loved ones. Another script-flipping skill McKay advocates is the ability to look into the future and see things as our future self would see them. He uses the example of singer Donnie Osmond, whose career was judged to be over many times but who kept reinventing himself, repeatedly flipping the script on his career to create new opportunities for success. McKay closes the episode by discussing how to know when it's the right time to flip our script and why it's worth the effort to get a fresh perspective on our goals.The Finer Details of This Episode:Alaska and the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race Aliy Zirkle and her quest to win the Iditarod Flipping the script and defining your own success Are we scripting anxiety into our kids? How Donnie Osmond flipped the script to let his talent shineQuotes:“The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is run early March of each year. And in that race, mushers and their dog teams travel from Anchorage in the south, across the state and up the coast to Nome in the north. In total, the race extends 938 miles. And that's farther than the length of Texas.”“Would it be nice to win? Yes. But she doesn't buy into the script that others have written that she is not a real success. She is, in fact, one of the most remarkable mushers in history. And the same goes for you and me. We, like Aliy, can flip the script on whatever we're attempting in life.”“Flipping the script has more to do with filling your thoughts with your new script, which will put aside the negative thoughts we might typically have. And most experts in personal change will say that you need to write that script that will consume your thoughts each day, that the first fifteen to thirty minutes of each day is what will prime your thinking for the rest of the day. So I call this time each morning the Flip the Script Session.”“As a father, I used to replay the script in my mind of how hard it was to raise kids. But now, as a grandfather, I have flipped the script. I would pay ten times $300,000 to have the joy and opportunity to do it again. I wish I could flip the time and go back and rescript myself while I was raising kids and have the perspective I do now. I would be a much happier, patient, and better father.”“When you flip the script, the outcome may be the same, you might...

Welcome to Wasilla, Alaska!  In 1917 the US government planned the Alaska Railroad to intersect a wagon road near the mining town of Knik.  Settlers bought up land around the new railroad station and Knik began a steady decline.  Wasilla Station became the new supply station for the mining an trapping trade in the area.  In the 1930s the US government moved 200 farming families from the Upper Midwest to the area to start a farming community.  Because of this move, the accents in the area still have some remnants of that regional accent.  The town was the start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race from 1973 to 2002, but reduced snow cover caused by a warming climate forced the location to change to Fairbanks.  There are a number of notable people who have lived in Wasilla, but former mayor, Governor of Alaska, and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is probably the most recognizable.  Palin was born in Idaho, but moved to Wasilla in 1972.  We hope you enjoy our trip to Wasilla!

The 2021 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is going to look a lot different, one year into a global COVID-19 pandemic. (The Iditapod's going to be pretty different this year, too, as we'll explain). The ceremonial start is canceled, so the race begins Sunday in Willow under strict COVID-19 protocols, with a shortened trail that doubles back on itself, a challenge to sled dog teams to cross the Alaska Range not once, but twice, plus coronavirus testing along the way and less access to indoor spaces at checkpoints... This Iditarod is certainly going to be unique.
