Update: Based on satellite tracking data, The Anchorage Daily News Tuesday night was projecting Lance Mackey the winner of the 2008 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
The race was expected to finish in Nome between 2 and 5 a.m. — too late to get the results into your good morning newspaper. But full results and a race recap should be available at www.adn.com by breakfast time.
You can read the entire article - a good, informative one - at the link above. The title of this post refers to this bit from the middle:
…the victory, it appears, will go to the man who last year did what was considered impossible in winning the 1,000-mile Yukon Quest Sled Dog Race from Fairbanks to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory at the end of February, and then getting back on the runners at the start of March to charge to victory in the Iditarod.
If that was the seemingly impossible, what is a Quest-Iditarod-Quest-Iditarod string of victories called?
