A pianist/composer’s dream of dogsledding in Alaska came true. It ended with a severed finger.
Blair Braverman, right, the writer whose dog-sledding team has become an Internet sensation, and the composer Yotam Haber ride in the opening leg of the 2019 Iditarod on March 2 in Anchorage.
“I told people on Twitter that I’m going to call my piece ‘Finger Lake,’ ” Haber said ruefully on Sunday from his home in New Orleans after surgery to reattach his finger. It was chance that linked Haber to one of this year’s best-known Iditarod competitors. In a field with more women than any previous Iditarod, Braverman, a 31-year-old writer, has drawn attention through an active social media presence, tweeting her preparations for the race to more than 60,000 followers on Twitter.
As a child in Wisconsin, Haber, standing, built his own sled and rounded up neighbor dogs to pull it. On the race’s first day, Braverman pulled Haber onto the back of her sled for the ceremonial ride. The bulk of his visit, however, was to be spent in a remote, family-run lodge 63 miles from the nearest highway, accessible only by snowmobile, where he would take the dogs out for a run three times a day. His own social media account reflected the exhilaration of the experience.
