tail on the trail reboot

The Tail On The Trail program pushed off it's winter challenge to March because they were redoing their website. It is mobile ready, which I guess was the goal. It also collects a lot of information, which makes logging a PIA. Based on that information it gives you annoying little happy graphics, which I think is supposed to motivate you. I hate little happy motivators.

The most annoying part right now is that you have to register like a new person, even if you've been doing it since day one. All that data was lost.

I'm not sure how I feel about the changes. Right now, I'm not so thrilled. But then, I'm crappy with change.


Speaking of change, I finished the Idita-Walk. I'm on the completed list. I guess that means I went over a 100 miles this month. The Idita-Walk isn't the same. It says there is only 15 participants so I think a lot of people agree with me.

We're 21 hours into the real race. Ally Zirkle is in 24th place. She's usually in the front of the pack, but hasn't won, yet. This might not be her year. But it's early. There's at least a week left of this race. And -24 temperature awaits the mushers in Nome.
