| Christine and team in the Iditarod Ceremonial Start in Anchorage |
We've given some in the club 'Diva' nicknames to highlight roles they've assumed (e.g. Membership Diva) or things we know they like (Stretch Diva) or to acknowledge their overall awesomeness (Ulitmate Diva), but I don't think anyone knew that we had a Msuher Diva in our midst until the
Anchorage Daily News featured Christine Roalafs in its pre-Iditarod coverage this week. Today Christine and 16 dogs start a 980+ mile trip from Willow to Nome.

Go, Christine, go! The Divas are cheering you on!

Fantastic......it would be great if we could experience these trails with her.
7:00 Monday: Christine has reached Finger Lake. Next stop: Rainy Pass.
9:30 Wed: looks like Christine is in Nikolai this evening. She's taking great care of her dogs -- all 16 are still with her!
Christine is getting a lot of press for a rookie. Wednesday's ADN featured several photos of her. Friday morning and she's on her way to Iditarod ghost town checkpoint with 15 dogs.
Sunday morning and Christine is past the halfway point of Iditarod and on her way to Shageluk (love that name -- it must have featured in an SNL skit or two), still with 15 dogs in harness!
Thursday and Christine is out of Shaktoolik (another great name) and headed down the trail to Koyuk. If she'd slow down, she might be able to snag the red lantern. Wouldn't that be cool?
She's bringing home the Red Lantern! Woo-hoo!
