The fact that Buser had previously been involved in two incidents of leaving the trail was also taken into consideration.\u00a0 The first involved taking a shortcut several years ago before the advent of the tracker; no action was taken by the race.\u00a0 The second event occurred last year and involved the same shortcut; Buser received a small fine for that infraction.\u00a0 Before this year\u2019s race all racers were warned by Race Marshall Nels Alexie to stay on the trail or face serious consequences.\u00a0 The board determined that Buser placed himself and others at risk by leaving and making little effort to rejoin the trail.\u00a0 Buser stated publically that he searched hard for the correct trail, but the digital record shows his speed and direction of travel and establishes that he turned around only once (described above). Other than the turnaround, the tracker shows his speed to be consistent.\u00a0 All other racers remained on the trail at that location and many confirmed the presence of extra markers at the location where the old trail diverted.\u00a0 Buser admitted that he had a GPS with him and used it during this off trail event.<\/p>\n<p>As for the feeding incident, the Committee decided that in addition to being a violation of the rules, it placed the race at risk of liability with children providing snacks to dogs at close range.<\/p>\n<p>The penalty drops Buser from the prize money, moving him from 14<sup>th<\/sup> place and $3700 to 21<sup>st<\/sup> place; out of the money and in last place.<\/p>\n<p>________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>The current field for the
