boaters, and including a few major expeditions for the experienced river-runner.

Race
Across Alaska: First Woman to Win the Iditarod Tells Her Story
by Libby Riddles, Tim Jones
Paperback from Stackpole Books
ISBN: 0811722538
Libby Riddles wanted an adventure. At the age of 16 she left home for
the snowy frontiers of Alaska, the Last Frontier. There her love of animals
drew her to the sport of sled dog racing. When she entered the Iditarod,
the famous marathon from Anchorage to Nome, she was just another Iditarod
Nobody. Twelve hundred miles later, having conquered blizzards, extreme
cold, and exhaustion, she and her dogs crossed the final stretch of sea
ice, miles ahead of the nearest competitor...and suddenly she realised:
I will be the first woman to win the Iditarod. This is the story of a courageous
woman and her heroic dogs. This is the story of Libby Riddles's adventure. |
