Hello Boys and Girls!
This is it! This is the moment we’ve been waiting for and I’m headed out the door in just a few mintutes to see the Re Start of the 2009 Iditarod.
Yesterday was the Start. How much time it took for each musher to get from the starting to the banner to the end of yesterday’s 11 mile run did not count as part of their race time.
Today is the Restart— and some people call that the REAL START of the race because the clock starts now for the mushers. I spent some time yesterday talking to my fur friends. They are excited and ready to get on the trail!
Boys and Girls, I hope that you follow the race closely. Read the articles from the K-9 Journalist team and the articles at FOR TEACHERS. Watch the front page of the website where you will be able to track 4 mushers free on the front page of the site. Enjoy the race!
Lots of Tail Wags,
Zuma

I LOVE THE REAL START OF THE IDITAROD!
Hi Zumma,
What’s up?
I hope you saw the race.
I want to know if it is hard to all the way were you guys are going
The trail is marked so the mushers know which way to go. Usually they don’t get lost. If they are traveling and they don’t see a marker for a while, they know they are going the wrong way.
I had no idea the race was starting so soon! Go dogs!
How many miles is the race?
love the iditord dogs

Good Morning Zuma,
Here in Brewster, New York it is 8:15 in the morning and my class has a question for you. We have noticed that some of the mushers are not running with the 16 dogs they all started with. What happened to the dogs that are not in the race anymore? Where do they go when they are out of the race and how do they get there? Also, is there a certain number of dogs that each musher must have when they cross the finish line?
We are really getting excited about what is going to happen next and who will win!
Thanks
How long does it take you to type out your artical. I like it. It is fun to read about the iditarod. Can dogs grow beards? My cousin has a beard. Is your real name Zuma. I think that is hard to believe. In my whole 11 years of living I have never met somebody whose name starts with a z.
Do you have brother or a sister. I do and she is mean. If you do what is their name.
My horizon class is learning about the iditarod race. We pick 2 mushers. GO DEE DEE JONROWE.
Well Brandon, I’ve met tons (figurative speech there) of people that have names that start with Z…. there’s Zack, Zac, Zach, Zachary…. and most likely more.
