Iditarod Race

13 03 2010

The amazing and resilient mushers in the Iditarod Race are  just over half-way to Nome, the finish line.  Follow the race in realtime here.  The photo slideshow is a must watch.

3/14/10 – [4pm] The first mushers are now arriving in Shaktoolik, on Norton Sound.  This is the section of the race where the hurricane-velocity winds and ground blizzards can cut visibility to zero as the trail crosses Norton Sound to Koyuk. Once in Koyuk the racers travel over land for another 171 miles to Nome. 

3/16/10 – 2:59 pm – Nome, AK. Congratulations to Lance Mackey for his 1st place 2010 Iditarod win.

2nd – Hans Gatt @ 4: 04 pm – Nome, AK.

3rd – Jeff King @ 5:22 pm – Nome, AK.
