Nathan Schroeder, the Warba native and Chisholm-area musher who won the Beargrease earlier this winter, just finished the grueling Iditarod Sled Dog Race in Alaska. Schroeder crossed the finish line in Nome earlier today in 17th place, first among all rookies. He and his dogs are all safe and, presumably, somewhere warm right now.
It’s hard for most mushers to get to the Iditarod. It’s harder still for a musher to finish the Iditarod (Almost 20 didn’t this year). And to finish in the top 20 in your first try? 17th out of 50 finishers? That’s impressive.
