Daily Update- 3/19/2012 The Last Mushers have arrived in Nome.

Hi Boys and Girls,

 

The last two teams crossed the finish line today in Nome.  Iditarod 40 is officially completed. It was a great race this year. I hope you enjoyed it. I sure did.

 

Bob Chlupach finished the race at 2:55:10 this morning.  He finished in 14 days, 11 hours, and 55 minutes.

 

Jan Steves finished the race at 2:27:03 this morning.  She finished in 14 days, 11 hours, and 57 minutes.

 

What a finish.  Jan received the Red Lantern award for crossing the finish line in last place.

 

Now what?  There will be a few more posts over the next few days.  So stay turned.  There are also events between now and Iditarod 41, where one of the K9 reporters will be reporting on.  So check in often to see what’s new.

 

See you on the trail,

Gypsy
