The last person on foot in this year's Iditarod Invitational crossed the finish line at 9am today after starting Feb 26. Overall he finished 3rd and was 2nd in foot division.
"Terrific Finish with no body pains, no blisters!"
"The most challenging part was that he had to make his own trail for about 200 miles on snowshoes, not even a dogsled trail to be seen. 5 days on the mighty Yukon of which 3 days with 75 miles winds was horrendous. "

*not* barefoot, I'm sure of that 😉 He slept on icepack at -30F the other night when he had to make his own trail - no, I don't mean the blue gel ice packs.
