Mushmania. (Short Stuff).

Some families play Monopoly, others watch TV--but Hannah Moderow, 17, and her family mush together. No. not mosh--mush! As in Snow Dogs. Following in her fam's tracks, Hannah competed in her first International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race in January, the qualifying event to the Iditarod (the mushing world's premier event.) Thirty teams from France, Japan, Canada and the United States competed for a $100,000 prize. This is no straight start-to-finish race. It's 400 miles, over 10 days, and had Hannah and her 12 sled dogs stopping in different Wyoming towns each night. Hannah has competed in a ton of junior races, represented Alaska (she's from Anchorage) in the Arctic Winter Games and placed third in the Junior Iditarod in 2001. "I started mushing after my family adopted our first sled dog Salt," says Hannah. "When I was 4,1 competed in my first race--a half-mile, one-dog competition." Want to know more about Hannah's race?
