Par GB Jones

GB Jones n'a jamais terminé en première position à l'Iditarod, ni à aucune autre course de chiens de traîneau. En 2002, puis de nouveau en 2004, il a parcouru les 1 100 miles de la course de chiens de traîneau près de la fin du peloton. Et il a abandonné lors de la course de 2003. Voici le récit de GB sur son voyage vers Nome — la preuve que la victoire peut survenir pour ceux qui n'arrivent pas en premier.

Riley ★★★★★

The near-last-place finishes in 2002 and 2004 make for a far more gripping read than any champion’s memoir. I read the whole 1,100-mile race tension in one sitting, and his dry take on being at the back of the pack had me laughing out loud. It’s refreshing to follow a real musher, not a legend.

John R. ★★★★☆

The author’s honesty about never winning really sets this apart—it’s not a victory lap, it’s a raw look at what it takes to finish a 1,100 mile race near the back of the pack. I only wish there were more photos of the trail itself, but the story kept me turning pages.

Ella ★★★★☆

The writing pulls you right into the grit of the trail—loved the raw detail about him finishing near the back of the pack in 2002 and 2004. Just wish it dug a little deeper into the race's strategy, since the 1,100 mile distance feels almost glossed over. Still a solid read for anyone curious about
