respectfully yours... DDD

well last night there was another scratch from one of the top mushers, Bjornar Anderson, after he was dragged a considerable distance after his sled tipped. he hung in there for another 70 miles to get to the next check point and then was air lifted away for medical treatment. Lance Mackey has taken the lead currently being the first to reach the checkpoint named "Iditarod". i have only the utmost respect for Lance and his family (who i swear were born to race) but i really feel like this year probably won't be his year. i seriously hope that Aaron Burmeister or Martin Buser pull through and in for the win (just something amazing and unexpected). the musher from washington really isn't doing all that well this year... like really. it's kinda freakin embarrassing that i have to say that i'm from the same state as her. if you're going to be the first from a state at least make us have something to be proud about... i mean seriously. go there to WIN. and i know this is coming from a competitive person but please!!!!
