BURMEISTER & ROYER

The degree of separation between Aaron Burmeister (Bib #56) and Jessie Royer (Bib # 17) was a cool 11 minutes behind.  Burmeister and Royer made their way on to Front Street in Nome at 4:56 am and 5:07 am respectively. Burmeister, who has spent years training on the sea ice in Nome Alaska, came in with 9 dogs on his team posting his highest position on the leader board (7^th). Royer arrived in 8^th position with 13 dogs on her team... all wagging their tails. This is Royer's second top ten finish... she placed 8^th in 2005 too.
