Lance Mackey just made history by winning the 2010 Iditarod and being the only Musher to ever win four consecutive Iditarod races.

After enduring a thousand miles of icy trails, he crossed the finish line on March 16th, with 11 of his 16 dog team, in just under 9 days (8 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes).
