    " Hi! I’m Lachland Clarke on behalf of Expert Village. I would like to invite you to visit our website at www.teamclarke.org. What’s that bag? It has a cooler in it. Cooler? You actually need a cooler? That is how you make your dog food meals but we’re not going to do that. This is a new sled. It’s a sit down style sled so this is my seat. I hate to tell you that because you will think it really easy. Yeah, a piece of cake on the Iditarod. When you are going that long, this is just such an incredible revelation you know, an invention. I don’t know if Jeff King’s or Martin Booze or whoever thought of it first. You know there are a lot of times you can take a rest when it is easy to sit down. The sit down sled helps kind of not make you as tired so you can better take care of your dogs; you know, at a check point. When you stop, you are not totally thrashed. You don’t sit, I mean you sit down in sections would be nice and flat or not too hilly."
