When in Rome, do as the Romans. When in Nome, do as the locals!
The Arm Wrestling Competition at the Breakers Bar during Iditarod week is a mainstay event and a definite must-see. The back of the bar is jam packed with arm wrestling hopefuls, dog mushers, locals, visitors, and plenty of Iditarod fans.
Some of my friends and I were contestants, and four of us took home either first, second, or third place in different weight divisions. This was my first time arm wrestling in a competition - and it definitely won't be my last. It was so much fun that I'm already training for next year!
