Jocelyne LeBlanc of Whitehorse Yukon is the Winner of the 2010 Yukon Quest Red Lantern Award.
With a personal best time for running the quest Jocelyne finished strong with 7 healthy and happy dogs on line. A Very large group of friends, Family, media, spectators and many fellow mushers were there to cheer her in as she crossed the finish line. Media and crowd surrounded Joc like an Olympic gold medalist to congratulate her on her achievement. As part of the plan Joc finished in time to attend the closing of the Meet The Mushers event Friday evening and to sign some autographs before finding a bed for a well deserved rest. Saturday am brings a day of meets for the Quest Mushers. Then the closing banquet starts at 5 pm with all the presentations and speeches. We are all Very proud of Joc and are looking forward to hearing the stories of the trail. Knowing that Joc is such a big fan of face book some good stories will most likely appear there.
Until next big event.
Thanks so much to all the sponsors, handlers, friends and family.

Joc I literally cried when I knew you made it home with your dogs, and I imagine my feeling of elation is a fraction of all the emotions you have experienced!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and happy recovering. Enjoy every minute.
Your one man South African Fan Club :)
Thanks for this thrilling race!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately here in Germany
not only the race is done
but also the snow has gone.
So the last snow I can watch is in Vancouver while I think how long it will need until mushing will be an onympic discipline...
