As many of you know I am a huge fan of the Iditarod and dogsledding in general. This is also the first year since I moved to Vermont 5 years ago that I have high-speed Internet in my house - so I am finally able to be an Iditarod "Insider" subscriber. I love watching the teams come into the checkpoints and hear the mushers talk - I'm a fan of mushing like some people are fans of the NBA or NFL. It's also hard for me to pick someone to route for. I like Lance Mackey an awful lot, and the fact that he won both the Quest and the Iditarod last year (the first person ever to win both races in the same year) and just defended his Quest title again this year, really makes me want to see him win it again. However, I've also always been a fan of Jeff King and would love to see him get his fifth championship.
And then there are some of the others that I'd love to see win for the first time like Aliy Zirkle or Dee Dee Jonrowe.
We'll have to see how it all turns out. If you're interested in learning more, check out these sites:
