Sledding To A Wintry Win

Jeff King just loves being dragged more than 1,000 miles over the frozen Alaska landscape by a team of dogs. Last week King won the Iditarod Sled Dog Race in Alaska. He and his dog team raced from Anchorage to Nome in 9 days, 5 hours and 43 minutes, the second fastest time ever. He is grateful to his speedy dogs: "The team was really a joy."
