Iditarod

The Iditarod, if you didn't know is the hardest race on Earth. It is a dogsled race all the way across Alaska. Mushers have to mush across ar least 1,000 miles of hard, snowy terrain. The Alaskan outback is full of hard turns and rough ground while the Alaskan fronteir is filled with mountains and hills that the mushers and their dogs have to climb to get over. My favorite mushers are Lance Mackey and Bruce Linton. Lance Mackey has been through throat cancer and still has won three Iditarods in a row! Bruce Linton has diabetes and is a very good role model for diabetics around the world. He is living proof that diabetics can do anything if they put their mind to it. He has done two Iditarods, three ironmans, and five marathons! I like him because my friend is a diabetic and i want him to be all he can be.
