Boulding Gets To Finger

Charlie Boulding, a two-time winner of the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race, led the Iditarod dog sled race into Finger Lake, 194 miles from the ceremonial start at Anchorage.

Boulding arrived in Finger Lake at 5:55 a.m, Alaskan time, pulled out again 15 minutes later.

Boulding apparently passed defending champion Martin Buser on the 45-mile run from Skwentna to Finger Lake.

Buser had been first out of Skwentna early Monday and Boulding had been running about an hour behind.
