47 mushers and their teams have completed the Iditarod. This year's big story was about Rachel Scdoris, a legally blind woman, who entered the race for the first time. She made it 700 miles before scratching at Eagle Island because of the health of her dogs. Her visual interpreter, Paul Ellering, scratched at that point also, "I’m just the kind of guy who likes to leave the dance with the girl he came with".
Apparently, she is already thinking about improvements that she can make for next year's race. You go girl!
Both Scdoris and Ellering are class acts!
