Iditarod 2014 – Day 11
I’m going to let Craig Medred explain how Dallas Seavey won his second Iditarod in record time while Aliy Zirkle is second for the third year in a row – it’s complicated. Jeff King scratched, as did Kelly Maixner.
Update: Now Hugh Neff has scratched. It must be something with the puppies, because he will usually continue when personally injured, but not if the puppies are unhappy.

The Mushers in bold are former winners of the Iditarod, while italics indicates Yukon Quest winners. The numbers in parentheses are their Bib numbers. The small “R” indicates a total rookie, while the small “Q” indicates an Iditarod rookie who has completed a Yukon Quest.
These are the official standings. That means they are official, not that they are correct. Things jump around a lot as people decide to update the standings. This problem is especially bad in the back of the pack, as no one bothers to update those standings when the lead is changing.
This post will be updated during the day, and the map changed on all posts to reflect the current situation.
