OK, team- I have consulted with exercise guru "Jane Fond-of-you" on a training video for the mushers. Since staying vertical is most important, the exercises are done while holding on to a "crib substitute".

Everyone- assume the position: lean forward into your "crib substitute" and slowly move your feet back and forth like a duck paddling on a calm lake. Feel the rhythm? Notice how smooth the movement is. Keep paddling. Got your rhythm?

OK- now imagine you are that duck and a GFBL boat is bearing down on you at 60mph. That's right, pick up your speed. Faster! Faster! Go, go, go . . .feel the burn . . . move your duck tail before you're duck soup!!!!!

Later, once your heart rate comes back into the normal range, go to Exercise #2 - grasp glass : bend elbow : consume contents : straighten elbow : refill. Repeat as necessary.

Hope these exercises help the cause!
