Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod by Gary Paulsen

4.0

---

The beginning was slow but once the Iditarod starts, the story picks up. Gary Paulsen of "Hatchet" fame decided to run the grueling dog sled race in Alaska and this book is the true story of his training and rookie race. It makes you realize what a true feat it is to train for this race, let alone compete in it and finish. Recommend reading if you have interest in the Iditarod.
