This 1978 photo shows an exhausted Dick Mackey after he won the Iditarod in Nome, Alaska. Mackey edged out Rick Swenson at the finish line. The 1978 dash down Front Street left Mackey as the winner with one second to spare over Swenson, who went on to become the Iditarod's only five-time champion. (AP Photo/Anchorage Times, Alice Puster)
