Bad Luck
I wondered what happened to her, and the Anchorage Daily News finally explains the problem:
Rookie musher Kim Franklin of Britain was withdrawn from the race Thursday after two dogs became separated from her team. Franklin reported that one of her dogs chewed through the gangline and race officials said Franklin couldn’t find the dogs and continued to Rohn. It’s against Iditarod rules to arrive at a checkpoint without the same number of dogs.
Officials said the two dogs were found and released to their handler in Anchorage.
A tough break for the English farmer, but she did get to compete.
