Iditarod Update #2

Since last I blogged about the Iditarod, we've seen a change at the top of the leaderboard. It is Day Nine of the race, and Jeff King, a former three-time champion, has passed Doug Swingley, and now holds a two ahd a half hour lead. The lead mushers are out of Shaktoolik, and are making there way towards the next checkpoing at Koyuk, enroute to their eventual destination, Nome, where it's a balmy 14 degrees F today.

Visually impaired racer, Rachael Scdoris is currently in 59th place. It'll be an amazing accomplishment for her to finish the race, and at the age of 20, she is already quickly becoming an Iditarod veteran.
