Top teams on their long rest in Cripple yesterday took time to talk dogs and to reminisce with one another about old races. Then, they were back on the trail. And jockeying for first place.

Surrounded by spruce trees that sheltered mushers from a northwest wind, Neff said he enjoyed the camaraderie and conversation of the other mushers also stopped: Brent Sass, Ryan Redington and father-son duo Mitch and Dallas Seavey. But Neff said he let them do most of the talking. Even with the light-hearted atmosphere, mushers were still working diligently to keep their dogs in top shape — massaging sore muscles and dishing out bowls of meaty broth.
The remote checkpoint of Cripple is made up of several plywood buildings and some Arctic Oven tents that are shipped in for the Iditarod. That made it an attractive place for some mushers to take their 24-hour rests, since it is away from crowds and other distractions. Brent Sass, the first to leave the Cripple checkpoint late Thursday afternoon, said he was happy with how his team was running, but had one minor concern.
“We’ve definitely been off our normal pace,” he said. “I think that if we get over this , they’ll be ready to rock and roll. This is still one heck of a dog team.”“I did get some sleep — maybe not as much as I would generally like on the 24,” he said. “Some people can really snore out here.”
