Aliy Zirkle is my pick to be the first woman finisher in Iditarod 2012. She was my pick last year, but didn't quite make it. She's off to a fast start, and determined, I think, to make this her year.
You can follow the race on the website of the Anchorage Daily News.
Tomorrow: my pick of the first male finisher.
Here's the route map. You can click on each check point for more information.
