The Iditarod

In English class we are talking about the Iditarod, and we just finished watching a film about the Iditarod from 2008. Lance Mackey won first place through lots of difficulty, competing with his fierce competitor Jeff King, who got second. My favorite musher is DeeDee Jonrowe, she has had breast cancer since 2002, but the reason I like her is because she is proving that you can come back from something like cancer and complete one of the hardest races on Earth! Our class will even get to communicate with one of the mushers from this years race! I'm excited and ready to see who wins the Iditarod this year!
