Susan Butcher never backed away from a challenge that is why she won the iditarod four times. She was born in Boston and her love of wilderness and animals drew her out to Alaska. She was 5 feet and six inches tall and weighed 135 pounds at the peak of her racing career. She was the first person to win 3 times in a row the iditarod championship. She set another record by wining 4 championships in 5 years. She died in 2006 of leukemia at the age of 51. The iditarod has 100 mph winds and 70 degres below zero.
