Iditarod Winner, 3/18 - Lance Mackey!
Lance Mackey has won the Iditarod for the third time in a row! Read the story here. He's now won seven 1,000+ mile races: the Yukon Quest four times, and the Iditarod thrice.
Uh, excuse me, but I do not believe it is "unprecidented". Susan Butcher won three times in a row: 1986, '87, and '88 And Doug Swingley got three in a row: 1999, 2000, and 2001. http://www.iditarod.com/learn/awards.html
Surprisingly, Rick Swenson did not get three in a row despite winning five times.
Joated - you're right. I made the mistake of listening to a radio commentator instead of checking it out for myself. My bad - and good call on your part. Thanks.
Whoo Hoo! Good work Lance!
