Iditarod Wrap-up
Over half the field has made it to Nome, but the race will continue for a few more days as people push on to finish.
Sigrid Ekran of Norway came in as the first rookie and first woman to finish. She was the 21st musher to reach the arch in Nome.
Winner Lance Mackey is still concerned about his dog, Zorro, who was diagnosed with pneumonia. As the Anchorage Daily News put it: Zorro didn’t finish, but he left his mark. Actually he was the father of seven of the dogs on the winning team, and is Mackey’s main stud for his breeding business.
