On dogs: I'm no expert - my observations were gleaned from stuff I read 
on sci.anthropology.paleo about six months ago. If Steve Harris has
the goods on canid stamina, I'm happy to yield - I was really only 
trying to explain Mike Darwin's unprotected heads. 

I should suggest that Steve compare the Iditterrod performance with
some of the ultramarathons that are run regularly - the one that's best
known in Australia is from Sydney to Melbourne, a distance of about
1000K, which I seem to recall the winners make in four or five days.
We're probably comparing apples and oranges, and the relevance to
cryonics is tenuous, but since I've kicked up such a fuss I'll see if I
can find the exact stats on the race record.
