There was a small ceremony today as Quito earned her SP Kennel MVP honors and her red roses that Aliy promised her during the Iditarod Finish Banquet.
While we’re at it, click here to revisit the original story of Quito’s sponsor over in New Zealand!
Ryne finished her Rookie Iditarod just about 4:45pm Alaskan time. She is currently enjoying a lovely meal, and drink after her long trip. All dogs and team are fine and resting in their straw. We’ll be posting pictures and more details a bit later on in the day. wendy
Ryne spent 2 minutes at the Safety checkpoint and took off in pursuit of Kelly Maxiner who is 8 minutes ahead of her and she has nearly caught.
For the SP Kennel fans, who are anticipating Ryne’s finish later on today, we found the link to the Nome, AK webcam. The camera is pointed at the finish chute and refreshes every 1-2 minutes. We expect her sometime between 4PM-6PM Alaskan Daylight Savings Time. Of course, we could be wrong, it could be earlier…or later–Just our guess. Hopefully you can see some live footage of the team coming in. Enjoy!

Ryne and the Red & Black team are about 60 miles from Nome. She has already passed Jim Lanier and is cruising along at a steady pace.
