Karin

Today, at Alaskan time 8:31:12, Karin crossed the line indicating the end of the Iditarod trail in Nome, finishing in position 40.
It took her 12 days, 18 hours, 31 minutes and 12 seconds to cover the 1,150 miles separating Wasilla from Nome working together with a loved team of 16 dogs. She ran by herself in the Alaskan wilderness in temperatures as low as -30'F (-34.5' C, not considering the wind!), mushing along frozen rivers, frozen sea, woods.... Bears are sleeping at this time of the year, but moose and wolves are not.
She is awesome. She kicks asses!!!
