Wow, I read that the winner was the youngest to ever win too... 25?
And my little Iditarod biff-- I always feel a bit... embarrassed... by the dogs coming in wearing coats, jackets, and socks/booties when they run into Nome. I mean really... what kind of northern breed is THAT?? (I am incredibly biased though--I still think the best team to ever run the Iditarod was the team of Alaskan Malamute show dogs who did it in the mid-90's. Apparently Alaskans would surround the musher at checkpoints and be like, 'now THAT's a real sleddog!' 'THAT's the type of sleddog WE remember!' lol No coats needed for those dogs!!).
