MARCH 15th DALLAS WINNER OF 39th IDITAROD

 MARCH 15, 2021

This is DALLAS SEAVEY'S day. He finished the race in 7 days, 14hours, 8 min, 57 sec. It's his 5th win, now in a tie with Rick Swenson's 5 wins. He went 848 miles on the IDITAROD GOLD TRAIL LOOP race. He came into DESHKA LANDING at 5:08 Alaska time with 10 dogs in harness. It was snowing so the site was picturesque. It is said, he is the winner due to how he manages his team and his time. He can see the big picture and sets a plan and adapts it. The dogs he has counted on for this race: PROPHET, GAMBLE, CANTON, PECOS, SWIFTER, COBRA, WEST, VIACON, NORTH, MUSTANG, YAK, RIP, FRISBEE AND ACE. 

There are 9 teams

DALLAS THANKING HIS DOGS

DALLAS COMING IN FOR THE WIN

left in NIKOLAI, 6 in ROHN, 5 in RAINY PASS, 3 in FINGER LAKE and the rest are in SKWENTNA doing there 8 hour layover there and then on into the finish in DESHKA LANDING.

Sadly, JEREMY TRASKA (r) scratched in NIKOLAI with 9 dogs in harness. Scratched for the good of the team. So close and for a rookie what a thrill. Sad. There are 36 teams left.
