Iditarod 2012: Dallas Seavey First; Aliy Zirkle Second

(click to enlarge)

That's Dallas Seavey arriving in Nome at 7:29 PM, ADT (11:29 PM ET) last night.  He was followed by Aliy Zirkle exactly one hour later, then Ramey Smyth, 35 minutes behind Aliy.  At the time of this post, only two other mushers (Aaron Burmeister, and Peter Kaiser) have reached Nome.

Seavey's winning time for the 975 miles was 9 days, 4 hours, 29 minutes and 26 seconds.  He is the youngest winner ever of the Iditarod.

And here's a video of Dallas greeting Aliy at the finish line.  That's Dallas's young wife, Jen, standing with him.
