Josi Thyr (pronounced TEAR, like teardrop) has made a big splash in the Alaska mid distance mushing scene this winter with competitive finishes in 2 of Alaska's toughest 300 mile races. Josi, however, has been involved with the sled dog life for a couple of decades since she was a kid living in Northern Idaho. Along the way, she has worked for some great Iditarod mushers with amazing dogs and learned more than a thing or two. Now, with her own 26 dog kennel in Fairbanks, and finishing 7th in this year's Copper Basin 300 and 3rd two weeks later in the Yukon Quest Alaska, Thyr has prepared ~1500 pounds of food and gear to be flown out to the Iditarod trail in order to take on a thousand mile expedition across Alaska - she definitely seems ready!
