A view of the world from the eyes of a
human being...
Reporting in from the 2006 Iditarod in Anchorage, Alaska, where our
very own reporter calls home, we welcome Robin Rosay.
Idit - day 4
Hi There!
We're at that part of the race where things start to get interesting.
The front runner made it to the halfway point shortly after midnight.
He'll be taking his mandatory 24 hour rest at that checkpoint. The guy
who's been a very close second started his mandatory 24 at an earlier
checkpoint. So, at least for a little while, first place will be up for
grabs again. Then it will be interesting to see who's teams can keep up
the fast paces they've been going. A lot of things can happen between
now and the wee hours on Tuesday the 14th, the day I'm guessing we'll
have a winner.
Today's first photo is a group of fans called the K-9 Fairies who were
out raising breast cancer awareness.
The second photo is two-time champ Robert Sorlie of Norway. He only
runs on odd numbered years. He was rookie of the year in his first ever
Iditarod. The second and third times he ran it he won them both. This
year he's assisting his nephew, Bjornar Andersen.
The third photo is another shot of Lori Townsend, who you saw in the
first day's photos. She dropped out of the race a day or two ago after
falling off the sled numerous times and breaking a rib. Ouch!
More tomorrow. Robin
Sledding anyone?
