Beyond Ophir: Confessions of an Iditarod Musher, An Alaska

Beyond Ophir: Confessions of an Iditarod Musher, An Alaska Odyssey

Jim Lanier had a good life going: a great family, a successful pathologist, a sometimes singer. Then he went to the dogs, ran the Iditarod in 1979, and has never recovered. With that â€˜79 race as the bookâ€™s backbone, Jim tells its taleâ€”entertaining, exciting, occasionally informative, and mostly the truth. From the bustle of metropolitan Anchorage to Front Street in Nome, itâ€™s no how to do. If anything, itâ€™s a how not toâ€”how not to prepare, how not to train, how not to run. On the other hand, itâ€™s how not to give in to the urge to quit when the going gets tough, in life and in this metaphorical Iditarod.
