Dick Wilmarth won the very first Iditarod in 1973.

i dont know you a hole

if you don't have an real answer then don't answer at all. What happens at a Iditarod checkpoint is:

Every single checkpoint that the race goes through has a team of vets available and ready to evaluate and treat injured dogs. The vets partners with the mushers to go over every team when they enter a checkpoint, evaluating individual dogs and answering any questions the musher may have. Likewise a musher can "drop" a tired or injured dog at any checkpoint, meaning they sign the dog over to the Iditarod vets and volunteers to care for and transport the dog back to Anchorage.

Dogs, especially any injured dogs, are top transport priorities, and bump everything else...including humans. The "Iditarod Air Force" a highly skilled team of the cream of the Alaskan bush pilots, will make priority transports of injured dogs from the checkpoints anywhere along the race back to Anchorage and advanced medical care if needed. Most dogs simply need rest, and are transported back to Anchorage and picked up by the musher's designated local contact person. If more treatment is required, the dogs are taken directly to advanced veterinary clinics to have that performed.

The health and safety of the dogs is the top priority for the mushers as well as the vets and trail volunteers. After all, the musher can't travel without them. I know someone who dropped 2 dogs in Ruby, a little over half-way through the race, because of sore shoulders -- it was in their best interest, even though they still wanted to go. By the time they got to Anchorage and their handler picked them up back there, they were bouncing around looking for the party...they're gotten enough rest to heal, which is the one thing he couldn't give them enough of on the trail.

They can reach over 90 km per hour.

Whistler has the fastest track in the world. Our track record is 146.6 kmh set by Jon Montgomery at the 2010 Olympics.

It is right at 1,012 miles from Anchorage, to Nome, Alaska, but just about a month ago "they" officially moved the starting line, from Anchorage to Willow, Alaska, just a few miles down the road 1,161 miles (1868km) From Anchorage, in south central Alaska, to Nome on the western Bering Sea coast, each team of 12 to 16 dogs and their musher cover over 1150 miles in 10 to 17 days

It means in a race like The Iditarod they scratch or drop out.

Mountains, trail, etc.... WHY DONT U JUST LOOK AT A MAP?!?!?!

There are three (3) mandatory stops during the race.

Well first you need to get a sled, then some sled dogs, move up to the arctic and enter a couple races to get your name out there. Once you have won some races you can get sponsored and then become proffesional.

Currently, John Baker holds the record at 8 days, 9 hours, 46 minutes, and 39 seconds in 2011.

5 days

^^Who gave THAT answer? Five days BY WHOM? And WHEN?

The CURRENT record is 2011Baker, John08d 18h 46m 39s

A useful way to examine a firm's ability to be successful in the market is to identify the order winners. An order winner is a criterion that customers use to differentiate the services or products of one firm from those of another.

Libby Riddles was the first woman to win the Iditarod, but Susan Butcher was close behind.

You may have Exercise-Induced Eustachian Tube Dysfunction…

Exercise increases blood supply to all parts of the body. Along with this increased proliferation of blood, comes tissue engorgement...this is why your skin becomes red or flushed. When the tissue engorgement is around your eustachian tubes -- those tiny ventilation tubes that run from your middle ear space (the area on the other side of your eardrum) to the back of your throat -- it may cause the tubes to malfunction.

If the eustachian tubes clog, your ears may feel full / stuffy, and your hearing could be a bit muffled, like they need to "pop". If the e-tubes lock in the "open" position (they are normally closed and only open briefly when we swallow), you may hear your own voice or an echo.

As long as this exercise-induced eustachian tube dysfunction resolves after you cool down, there is no need to be concerned. Unfortunately, there may be little that you can do to prevent this from occurring, other than reducing the intensity of your exercise.

I've also heard it can come from being dehydrated or from breathing into your nose and mouth at the same time while exercising.

heavy coats and gloves

The dogs have thick callous pads and fur on their feet. They don't need booties or such like city dwellers do for their dogs. I suspect that the whole jacket and bootie thing is more about how the city owners feel than how their dogs feel.

it could be from 15-30lbs without everything on it.

she is known for being the first woman to win the intermidit dog sled race

They get the Red lantern Award as the last Musher off the Trail and get to extinguish the light. Their real reward is they finished a very grueling 1000 mile race just them and their dogs.

The Iditarod is a dog sled race that takes place in March of every year since 1976. There are near 100 mushers, or racers, who compete across a 1,049 mile terrain across Alaska. With 22 rest stops and 16 dogs, mushers race for a chance to win $69,000 and a brand new pickup truck.
