It is just no fun having Mackey win it every year. Maybe next year we have to have a v-bet on who finishes 2nd.

Also it seems like Mackey has a good strategy as he seems to hold back on the front half of the race, but after he takes the 24 hour rest he just turns on the jets.

Famed sled dog race gets under way in Alaska

Anchorage, Alaska (CNN) -- Alaska's famed Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race officially gets under way Sunday after a ceremonial start to a 1,000-mile competition that takes mushers through some of the harshest conditions imaginable.
Sixty-two teams are competing this year and will travel more than 1,150 miles across the Arctic for a chance at $50,400 and a new truck.
They sped through Anchorage Saturday to the sounds of racing paws and cheering crowds.
An official "restart" of the race is set to take place Sunday in Willow, Alaska, about 70 miles north of Anchorage. The competition will end in Nome.
