That's so cool. My 11 year old had to do a project earlier this year as if he was a musher running the Junior Iditarod. Each kid in the class had to pick a musher and pretend that's who they were. They had to complete a bio and a journal of their training and race. My son picked Patrick Mackey (Lance's nephew). We learned so much about both the junior race and the actual Iditarod. The training is unbelievable.
I can hardly wait to tell my son who won. I'll bet someday Patrick wins, too. This is a family tradition for the Mackeys.
