Obsessed

It's Iditarod time.

Some people wait all year for the Superbowl, some people live for the World Series. For me the Big Sports Event of the year is the Last Great Race.

As always the coverage provided by Cabelas is top notch.

This years race is full of drama, just as they always are...

Legally blind rookie musher, 19 year old Rachael Scodoris is running what appears to be a solid race so far, back in the pack but showing no signs of faltering.

4 time Iditarod champion Martin Buser, who accidentally amputated a finger just 4 days before the race started, is at the top of the pack, running neck and neck with 2003 champion Robert Sorlie.

Breast cancer survior and one of my favorite mushers Dee Dee Jonrowe is running with the top of the pack this year again, her best race since 1998.

5 time champion Rick Swenson had to scratch yesterday.

And everyone is wondering if 4 time champion Doug Swingley, back this year after having to scratch last year when he froze his corneas, can pull a rabbit out of his hat and move from his position at the back of the leader pack to the front.

And there are even TWO mushers running from Colorado!
