Iditarod Update

Just a quick post to update the standings on the Iditarod. At this writing, approximately 11 AM CST on Wednesday, March 8th, four time champ Doug Swingley still leads the pack. He is into Takotna, and holds a 35 minute lead over second place musher Jeff King. In a race of this length, 35 minutes isn't much. Rachael Scdoris, the visually impaired racer I blogged about yesterday is currently in 59th place. Not bad, all things considered.

You can follow all the action over at the Official Iditarod Website.

In other Iditarod related news, former champion, and dog sled legend, Susan Butcher has been experiencing some healthy issues of late. But according to her website she has found a bone marrow donor, and hopes to return to Alaska soon. I wish Susan the best of luck, and a speedy recovery to full health.
