Quite a lot had three mushers in, Matt, Hugh and Allen...

This was fun and really difficult.. Here we picked 5/21, thats 24% of the mushers and I still found it hard..

For those wanting to join the TTP for Iditarod, we have to choose 14% of the mushers.. that will be so much easier, right?

[braider]

My picks don't really seem very glorious to me - kudos to JeanieB for picking Matt to win.
