Iditarod 2016 – Day 12
Ellen has the Red Lantern at the coast and Billy Snodgrass scratched at Unalakleet. It’s a shame to get so close and have to stop.
Alas, Ellen has followed in Billy’s sled tracks and scratched been withdrawn by the ITC at Unalakleet. Mary Helwig at Shaktoolik has inherited had the Red Lantern thrust upon her by the ITC.
Nathan Schroeder’s team is having a strike over working conditions, as happened to Brent Sass earlier. The feeling is that the Seaveys may have convinced their teams to run without rest, but not all teams are that dumb.
Nathan’s team finally decided to go to Nome in 45th place.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day
Éireann go Brách!
Well everyone agrees that he died on March 17th, but the year is subject to debate. This is his feast day on the Catholic calendar. Enjoy as you are wont.
Wikipedia has more on Saint Patrick’s Day, if you need more.
