YEAH HEIDI SUTTER got to NOME with 10 dogs. It took her 12 days 3 hours 39 min.9seconds.
GOOD GOING HEIDI!!!! You did it!! Quite an accomplishment.
At this time there are 54 mushers in NOME
6 mushers in SAFETY
5 mushers in WHITE MOUNTAIN
CINDY ABBOTT is in ELIM---It took her a long time to get out of KOYUK so I'm glad to see her advance. Waiting for you CINDY!!! The party won't start without you!!!

Nice story about LANCE MACKEY: Just before KOYUK, LANCE came upon SCOTT JANSSEN'S dogs but no SCOTT so he hitched SCOTT'S dogs to his and brought everyone into KOYUK. Much to his relief SCOTT was there. That's why SCOTT had to scratch.
SCOTT was at the chute when LANCE arrived and hugged him.

Two of LANCE'S dogs died while on the trail--unknown causes at this time. One between TANANA and RUBY--WYATT. He was fine, checked out by the vets at the checkpoints. LANCE said he was to be the next famous leader!! So sad.  The other dog died between ELIM and WHITE MOUNTAIN--STIFFY. No problems either. LANCE said the only thing you could say about STIFFY was he was ADD times 5.
The last time a dog died while racing was in 2009. So much sadness.
