• Iditarod update:

  Iditarod.com seems to have fixed the problems they had earlier
  today.  I just accessed the current standings that were updated to
  within a minute of the time I got it.  There is a lag time of
  about an hour before in/out times (the times the mushers
  enter and leave checkpoints) get onto the website.

  wixer asked
  about the blind girl.  She is running in last place.  Well,
  not running exactly… as of 9:03 this morning she had been in
  Skwentna, the second checkpoint, for about an hour and a half.

  Meanwhile, Dee Dee Jonrowe and fourteen other mushers have left Finger
  Lake, the third checkpoint.  Dee Dee left at 7:02, half an hour
  before Rachael pulled into Skwentna.

  Here’s the first question in the trivia contest:

  How many checkpoints are there on the trail?

  …and here’s rule #1:

  The winner will be the first person to answer all the questions correctly.
