Running together
Healy musher Regina Wycoff and Yukon musher Kyla Boivin left Eagle together early Friday en route to Dawson. Boivin has been suffering from serious back problems since the start of the race and said she has been treating herself with Algyval and DMSO, both canine liniments, although she has been laughing through the pain.
Wycoff, a rookie, and Boivin are both irrepressibly optimistic, and should be entertaining travel partners. If only dogs could speak.
