Inspirational Motivational of the Day: 25-year-old Dallas Seavey has become the youngest person ever to win the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, crossing the finish line in Nome, Alaska, a week and a half after leaving the starting point in Anchorage.
His win entitles him to $50,400 and a brand new Dodge truck.
Seavey, a USA Wrestling champ who comes from a proud line of Iditarod mushers -- his father, Mitch Seavey won in 2004 -- took control of the race midway through.
Ally Zirkle, 41, who had been leading until then, will finish second. Ramey Smyth is expected to finish third.
The so-called "Last Great Race on Earth" was started in 1973, and covers a stretch of about 1,000 miles which generally takes mushers and their team of dogs between 10 to 17 days to complete. Last year's winner, John Baker, set a course record by completed the Iditarod in 8 days and 19 hours.
