(yes, the idita-names are done with!!)

Well, what a day it has been. We’ve had a mushers family staying in our upstairs room, its made things a bit more hectic around the house…but I’m glad we could help out. Lydia’s parents arrive tomorrow morning, that will be exciting! Today was a very long day, I woke up around 5:00am and am just finishing work at 8:39pm. We’ve had a lot of mushers come into town, and I’ve tried to be downtown on front street for most all of them.

Robert Sorlie came in first, Ed Iten in second, Mitch Seavey third, Bjornar Andersen fourth, Ramy Brooks in fifth, John Baker arrived sixth, Lance Mackey seventh, Jessie Royer eighth, Paul Gebhardt ninth, and DeeDee Jonrowe came in 10th.

Here is a link a audio report that talks about Robert Sorlie winning the race (click here). If you’re interested, I still have to put up other audio from the past week.

I should have pictures of the finish up tomorrow!
