Lance Mackey and team are enjoyed the adulation of the assembled Nome crowd this cold evening on Norton Sound. He successfully repeated the successes of both his father and brother by winning the Iditarod on the 6th try, and wearing bib 13.
Mackey arrived shortly after 8:00 p.m. in Nome. Total time on the ITC leaderboard: 9 days, 5 hours, 8 minutes.
Paul Gebhardt arrived just before 10:30 p.m. tonight, taking second place after a hard-fought battle with the elements and with a pack of championship mushers at the front of the race unmatched in recent memory. Gebhardt has never won the Iditarod, though he finished as high as #2 in 2000 and finished third just last year.
