Pixie relaxing in camp.
Brent found a place to park his dogs outside of town, and he spends nights and partial days out there running and hanging with the dogs. Every day seems to be filled with meetings, particularly if you’re a rookie running the Quest. But hey, you get to sign autographs, too, and the race hasn’t even started. Some of the meetings are public, so even novices such as myself get to rub elbows with these unlikely celebrities. It was fun to recklessly speculate about which of the current rookies might someday fill the shoes of the Lance Mackeys and Hans Gatts when they decide to drop the snowhook for good.
At the banquet, Brent drew the 3
rd starting position, 11:06 am Saturday.

A typical moment for Lance Mackey, last year’s Quest champion. Intense!
