Jeff King
Jeff King is an American long distance musher who is well known for winning both the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska four times and the Yukon Quest Sled Dog Race across the U.S. and Canada (once).
King won the Yukon Quest in 1989, and the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1993, 1996, 1998, and most recently, in the 2006 Iditarod.
Jeff King likes to invent. Several years ago, he added a comfortable seat to his sled. After falling asleep and falling off the sled, King added a seat belt: "Musher Jeff King has developed a new, sit-down sled that some have labelled the Iditarod Barcalounger. King said it helps him get more rest, although he almost lost his team last year when he got to resting so well he went to sleep and fell off. He's since added a seat belt." In 2006, King added a heated handlebar to warm his hands and his food!
