All twenty of us in Texas were pulling for you. We all stayed with you throughout the race , some of the twenty were together and the others . well, we were burning up the telephone lines and the internet . We were wanting this so badly for you, but it just wasn't to be We were happy that Mitch caught him,. If it couldn't be Team Mackey .To all of us you are still 'THE MAN" We haven't seen or read anything of Mackey entering Nome and his reaction, but I can tell you this, Lance was humble and shook the hands of Seavey, and even King. Thats just the person he is.
