Angie is currently navigating Rohn to Nikolai, which is a 75 mile stretch. Nikolai is 347 miles from Anchorage. She is in 51st place at the moment and is doing awesome. She has dropped two dogs but it still going strong with 14 dogs. No word as to why she had to drop them.

Ceremonial Iditarod 2011 start: Amazing!

Angie has asked me to update her blog with some pictures and to let everyone know how much it meant to her to see you all out there cheering her on and showing your support. Thank you!

Angie had a great ceremonial start and is getting to sleep early tonight to get some much needed shut eye before the restart tomorrow in Willow. It's gonna be great!

Starting bib number 19!

Tonight at the mushers banquet I drew bib number 19. This means that I will be starting the race at 10:36AM on Saturday March 5th in downtown Anchorage on 4th Avenue.
