Dallas Seavey wins the 2012 Iditarod!!!
At 7:29pm AKDT, Willow musher Dallas Seavey crossed under the burled arch to win the 2012 Iditarod. His winning time was 9 days, 4 hours, 9 minutes, 26 seconds.
He set or tied several records:
He is the youngest musher to win the Iditarod (25 years old)
(He was also the youngest musher to win the Yukon Quest at 23 years old in 2011)
He is the second son of a former champion to win (Dick Mackey ’78/Lance Mackey ’07-‘10; Mitch Seavey ’04/Dallas Seavey ‘12)
He is the first third-generation Iditarod finisher to win. (Grandfather Dan, father Mitch)
He is the fourth musher to win both Iditarod and Yukon Quest (Joe Runyun, Jeff King, Lance Mackey)
Aliy Zirkle finished an hour behind for 2nd place, repeating the finish of her husband, Allen Moore, in the Yukon Quest, with many of the same dogs.
In a video interview at the finish line, Seavey said, “Awesome, it was a lot of fun racing you! Let’s do this again next year!” Zirkle replied, “I’ll get back to you after that first beer.” Seavey: “O.K., well I’ll buy that for you!”
Ramey Smyth trailed Zirkle by thirty minutes, for another good finish, after coming in 2nd last year.
Aaron Burmeister has finished 4th, and Peter Kaiser 5th.
In a hard-fought sprint to the finish, Ray Redington Jr. places 6th, Mitch Seavey 7th, Michael Williams, Jr. 8th and John Baker 9th.
DeeDee Jonrowe looks to finish 10th, with a decent lead over Sigrid Ekran out of Safety.
Ken Anderson, top rookie Brent Sass and Sonny Lindner are out of White Mountain, with Paul Gephardt set to leave an hour before Hugh Neff and Michelle Phillips, in a race to stay in the top 15.
Martin and Rohn Buser are in Elim, with Gerald Sousa in 20th.
Jodi Bailey leaves Koyuk in 21st place, followed 15 minutes by her friend, Michigan musher Ed Stielstra, and the pack that traveled across the bay together, brought up by Lance Mackey in the rear.
The back of the pack of Bob Chlupach and Jan Steves are in Galena.
Tom Thurston scratched in Unalakleet and Kirk Barnum in Kaltag.

Iditarod Update #16 - Tuesday Afternoon Sprint
The final stretch
At this point, Dallas Seavey is 5 miles from Safety, 8 ahead of Aliy Zirkle, and 14 ahead of Ramey Smyth, although the spread changes with every update. It might be possible for Smyth to overtake Zirkle, but seems unlikely he can take first, unless Seavey falters.
At the current rate, they should arrive in Nome between 5:30pm AKDT and 6:30pm AKDT (9:30pm EDT – 10:30pm EDT)
Aaron Burmeister is on the way, in 4th, and Peter Kaiser has just left White Mountain.
In a couple more hours, Ray Redington Jr. will leave 19 minutes before BOTH Mitch Seavey and John Baker, in a three-way race for 6th.
Michael Williams, Jr., DeeDee Jonrowe and Sigrid Ekran will each leave 20 minutes apart, with Ekran out of the Top Ten for now.
Top rookie Brent Sass is on the way to White Mountain, and in the top 15.
Onto the frozen Norton Bay, Jodi Bailey and Lance Mackey are neck-and-neck, leading a large pack of teams, fighting for 21st position.
The back of the pack of Bob Chlupach and Jan Steves are in Galena.
Gerry Willomitzer scratched in Unalakleet.

Iditarod Update #15 - Tuesday Morning Final Stop
It all comes down to 77 miles
After 9 days and 840 miles, it will, as so often happens, come down to a 77 mile sprint to Nome! And a first-time champion will be crowned.
Dallas Seavey arrived in White Mountain 1 hour 11 minutes ahead of Aliy Zirkle. After the mandatory 8-hour rest, Dallas will leave at 8:14am AKDT, Aliy at 9:25. Over the prior 76 miles, Dallas INCREASED his lead by 48 minutes. With both teams rested, it should be a fast 77 miles to Nome! Based on average times from the last 3 years, the run should take anywhere from 9:15 to 10:15, putting the winner in to Nome between 5:30pm AKDT and 6:30pm AKDT (9:30pm EDT – 10:30pm EDT)
Ramey Smyth, a multiple winner of the “Fastest Time From White Mountain to Nome” award, will leave at 10:17am AKDT. While he gained nearly an hour on Dallas on the 76 miles from Koyuk, he would have to DOUBLE that gain to come in first.
Aaron Burmeister appears to have 4th place locked up, with Peter Kaiser next. Mitch Seavey and John Baker are battling for 6th.
Ray Redington Jr., Michael Williams, Jr. and Sigrid Ekran look to round out the Top Ten, with DeeDee Jonrowe just outside.
Brent Sass continues to lead the rookie race, on the trail to Elim and in 14th position.
The rest of the rookies are in Shaktoolik or farther back.
The back of the pack of Bob Chlupach and Jan Steves are in Galena.

Iditarod Update #14 - Monday Afternoon Tandem
The “Lead Pair” are to Elim
Dallas Seavey and Aliy Zirkle arrived about 1 mile apart to the Norton Bay coastal town of Elim. From there, it’s another 46 miles to the final mandatory 8-hour rest at White Mountain, then the 77 mile sprint to Nome. They have a nearly 10 mile lead over Aaron Burmeister, who is followed by Ramey Smyth, known for fast runs to the finish. Peter Kaiser and Mitch Seavey, are next, followed by John Baker.
Teams still in Koyuk or crossing the frozen sea from Shaktoolik have little chance of catching the leaders, barring unforeseen problems up front. The forecast looks clear for the race to end on a good trail.
Looking at the last 3 years, when they leave Elim, they will take about 7:30 to get to White Mountain. After the 8 hour break, they averaged 9:30 to Nome. (Lance Macky in 2009 was the fastest winner over that stretch.) So, unless they take a long break in Elim, expect a finish in the vicinity of 5:00pmAKDT/9pmEDT.
The lead rookie, Brent Sass, is crossing the frozen bay on his way to Koyuk. Anjanette Steer and Braxton Peterson have yet to reach Shaktoolik.
The back of the pack of Bob Chlupach and Jan Steves are on the trail moving toward Galena together.

Dallas Seavey and Aliy Zirkle arrived about 1 mile apart to the Norton Bay coastal town of Elim. From there, it’s another 46 miles to the final mandatory 8-hour rest at White Mountain, then the 77 mile sprint to Nome. They have a nearly 10 mile lead over Aaron Burmeister, who is followed by Ramey Smyth, known for fast runs to the finish. Peter Kaiser and Mitch Seavey, are next, followed by John Baker.
Teams still in Koyuk or crossing the frozen sea from Shaktoolik have little chance of catching the leaders, barring unforeseen problems up front. The forecast looks clear for the race to end on a good trail.
Looking at the last 3 years, when they leave Elim, they will take about 7:30 to get to White Mountain. After the 8 hour break, they averaged 9:30 to Nome. (Lance Macky in 2009 was the fastest winner over that stretch.) So, unless they take a long break in Elim, expect a finish in the vicinity of 5:00pmAKDT/9pmEDT.
The lead rookie, Brent Sass, is crossing the frozen bay on his way to Koyuk. Anjanette Steer and Braxton Peterson have yet to reach Shaktoolik.
The back of the pack of Bob Chlupach and Jan Steves are on the trail moving toward Galena together.

Iditarod Update #13 - Monday Morning Across the Sound
Leaders are crossing the frozen Norton Sound.
Race leader Dallas Seavey has crossed the ice of the Norton Sound to arrive in Koyuk. That stretch of trail can often be difficult, flat and white and seemingly endless. Fortunately, there was no severe weather to hamper the teams’ progress.
Aliy Zirkle is a couple of hours behind, followed by Aaron Burmeister, John Baker and Mitch Seavey all on the ice, with Peter Kaiser and Ramey Smyth out of Shaktoolik.
The rest-run strategy along the coast will determine the winner, as teams run the 90-plus miles to White Mountain and the final mandatory 8-hour stop, before the 77-mile last leg to Nome.
On Sunday, an unusual number of teams ended their race:
Just before 2:30pm, Lachlan Clarke scratched in Galena. Clarke made the decision to scratch because he was down to a small number of dogs. He had 8 dogs on his team when he made the decision.
At 4:00pm, Jake Berkowitz was withdrawn by Race Marshal Mark Nordman in Unalakleet, with a severely injured hand that needed stitches and would prevent him from properly caring for his team. He was in 6th place at the time.
Twelve minutes later, Pat Moon scratched in Ruby because he was down to 7 dogs and felt he shouldn’t continue with so few. Unfortunately, it was his 2nd scratch in as many attempts, the first in the 2010 race.
Approximately 4:40pm, Jeff King made the tough decision to scratch his team in Unalakleet, after his dogs stopped on the trail and refused to continue.
Nearly simultaneously, rookie Josh Cadzow scratched in Kaltag, saying his team wasn’t enjoying themselves and he felt it was in their best interest to scratch.
In the rookie race, Brent Sass has a sizable lead over Anjanette Steer and Braxton Peterson.
The back of the pack of Dan Seavey, Jan Steves and Bob Chlupach are in Ruby, still needing to take their mandatory 8.

Iditarod '11 Update 12 - Sprint To History
77 miles to history
It’s a sprint race to Nome! John Baker left White Mountain exactly 50 minutes before Ramey Smyth. Ramey has always made the run faster than John. We should have a winner around 12 Noon Eastern Time.
Hans looks comfortably in position to take 3rd, followed by Dallas, Hugh and Sebastian.
In the Rookie Race, Nicolas Petit is in and out of Shaktoolik, with Kelly Maixner a couple of hours behind. Jodi Bailey arrived in Unalakleet about 5 hours after Nicolas left, so depending on run-rest tiems, is still in the hunt.
Mike Santos arrived over 3 hours behind Jodi, with Magnus Kaltenbrn and Justin Savidis on the way. Cain Carter is in Kaltag, Angie Taggart is on the way. Scott Janssen is in Eagle Island. Kris Hoffman is out of Grayling, in Red Lantern position.
Rookie Brennan Norden scratched in Shageluk.

In the Rookie Race, Nicolas Petit is in and out of Shaktoolik, with Kelly Maixner a couple of hours behind. Jodi Bailey arrived in Unalakleet about 5 hours after Nicolas left, so depending on run-rest tiems, is still in the hunt.
Mike Santos arrived over 3 hours behind Jodi, with Magnus Kaltenbrn and Justin Savidis on the way. Cain Carter is in Kaltag, Angie Taggart is on the way. Scott Janssen is in Eagle Island. Kris Hoffman is out of Grayling, in Red Lantern position.
Rookie Brennan Norden scratched in Shageluk.
