Our guest on this episode was a rookie in this year's Iditarod. He was born and raised in South Africa. He came to the United States in 2010 to learn more and see the world. After hearing about dog sledding he joined a kennel in Michigan. Sadly, he did not finish the Iditarod this year. He was less than 70 miles from the finish when he had to be rescued. Enjoy this episode with Gerhardt Thiart.
