Preparing people to lead extraordinary lives
Mitch Seavey puts boots on his dog team before leaving White Mountain in Alaska during the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog
Race.
Winner of Iditarod Race
oldest in history at 53
One year after son
wins race, Mitch
Seavy claims title
NOME, Alaska (AP) - Last
year, the youngest musher ever
to win Alaska's Iditarod Trail
Sled Dog Race said his 25-year-
old stamina gave him the advan-
tage to get his dogs to the finish
line first.
Just one year later, Dallas
Seavey's own father proved
youth doesn't always win out,
using careful strategy and an
all-out sprint to the finish line to
become the oldest winner ever
of the grueling, 1,000-mile race.
"This is for all of the gentle-
men of a certain age who think
it ends at 50, because it doesn't,"
53-year-old Mitch Seavey said
late Tuesday after cruising
across the finish line almost
three hours ahead of his son.
Youthful mushers may have
somephysical advantages - they
can do some things more easily,
such as running with their dogs
to give them a break, rather than
just sitting on the sleds, on their
way to the finish line in the old
frontier town of Nome.
But dog mushing, in fact, is
among the few extreme sports
with such a huge age range.
That's because experience takes
a long time to acquire and, more
importantly, because the true
super athletes in the game are
the dogs- a factor Dallas Seavey
is quick to acknowledge.
"The dogs can be enough,"
he said last year in an Iditarod.
com video. "There are certainly
mushers that can win the Idi-
tarod and have won the Iditarod
and never set foot off the sled.
Those are some impressive dog
teams."
Older mushers may not have
the vigor of their younger coun-
terparts, but they have more
experience and more lessons
learned from past mistakes, and
they often are better prepared to
handle things like the numbing
sleep deprivation along the trail.
In the past decade, other Idi-
tarod winners have included
Jeff King, who was 50 when he
won; John Baker, who was 48;
and Norwegian Robert Sorlie,
who was 47.
The elder Seavey, who also
won in 2004, apparently had
the best dog team this time. His
son, now 26, ended up placing
fourth, behind older competi-
tors, 43-year-old .Aly Zirkle,
who was followed by four-time
champion King, now 57. Before
this year's race, King had been
the oldest Iditarod champion
after he won in 2006 at age 50.
Also, Dallas Seavey's win at
such a young age is in some ways
unique. He grew up in the sport
in a multigenerational family,
unlike most mushers - not all
- who come to the race later,
sometimes well into middle-age.
So the experience - which
older mushers say is so crucial
to winning -was there along
with the youthful stamina when
Dallas Seavey forged ahead in
the 2012 race, beating Zirkle to
the finish line by one hour. Most
other young mushers with stel-
lar performances also come
from a mushing background.
"Last year, you had a boy who
was raised around the sport,
knew dogs from the time he was
old enough to sit in a sled," race
marshal Mark Nordman said
Wednesday.
At the end of the trail, how-
ever, mushing doesn't favor any
age, said Baker, who won the
race in 2011 and placed 21st in
this year's race.
