Iditarod – Day 12

Jeff King arrived in Nome in 9 Days 2 Hours 22 Minutes 17 Seconds, the four-time winner’s best time ever, and it is only good enough for third this year.

Cim Smyth (3) is sitting in White Mountain hoping that every dog on his team is a happy puppy – he only has the minimum 6 dogs left, and will be withdrawn if they aren’t all ready to go.

The Scot, Wattie McDonald (4), is on the trail beyond Unalakleet with 16 happy puppies, the only full team that can make it to Nome this year.
