I thought the race was very entertaining. It was the classic story of the tortoise and the hare. Cockrum (and Leary) was the hare, and Seavey was the tortoise. That’s the contrast of the Silver Crown division compared to the sprints. Longer races, saving tires and fuel, more attrition, and changing track conditions for Silver Crown. Sprints are literally that, a sprint as fast as you can for a shorter distance. This is not a criticism of Kody Swanson, but I was far more entertained by yesterday’s race than most events where Kody just runs away with it.
