I am honored to welcome 2004 Iditarod Champion and 2008 All Alaska Sweepstakes Champion Mitch Seavey (with the assistance of son, Danny, himself a 2-time Iditarod finisher) to our forum. They will be with us from Wednesday, Dec. 10th thru Tuesday, Dec. 16th.
Mitch competed in his first Iditarod in 1982 and in every race since 1995. He won the 2004 Iditarod in 9 days, 12 hours, 20 minutes, and 22 seconds. On March 28, 2008 Mitch won the All Alaska Sweepstakes in 61 hours, 29 minutes, 45 seconds, shattering the 1910 record.
Learn more about Mitch and his family (most are avid mushers) at http://www.ididaride.com/index.php and be sure to check out the shop on their website.
Welcome Mitch & Danny!
