Winner, Lance Mackey, Bib 13

Lance Mackey won the Iditarod sled dog race last night at 20:08 , Nome time, wearing Bib 13, on March 13th, the same bib no. of his father's/brother's (Dick/Rick). It's the lucky number for the Mackeys.

Lance won the Yukon Quest in February, as well. Amazing accomplishments, alone, but having also battled throat cancer, he is a big winner all around.
