I want to thank Blake and Jen once again for allowing me to do this race with their puppies. You have no idea how much I appreciate that opportunity.

Blake finished 6th in the marathon. I was not at the finish but I hear his dogs were leaping and barking at the finish line and looked great! Unfortunately, Phil had to scratch but I am confident he made the right decision in the interest of his puppies.

It was great to watch the race start, bib drawing, race finishing on the ifan video coverage! Congrats to Blake and his team for their super finish. Wishing Blake and his team and handlers a safe and enjoyable journey to Alaska for the 2010 Iditarod Sled Dog Race.

My parents were watching the race on ifan as well. It was good that they had coverage but we are still waiting for the archives of the finish to come up.
