KB said...: Watched the finish on the Insider...what a race! The Photo finish of Ken and Jessie was also very exciting.

Congratulations, Aliy, on a fantastic 11th place finish, your fastest yet!

I referred a lot of fans over to your blog. They've been watching last year's Aliy Cam as well as this year's. I hope one day to be able to visit your kennel and see those wonderful dogs.

Thanks for all the updates, Kaz and Bridgette.; March 16, 2011 7:46 AM

I am looking forward to seeing the finishing video when it is posted. I am particularly interested to see if Quito finishes the race in lead. I am also looking forward to seeing Mr Moore and the Black Team finish too. They are not very far behind at all. I feel very proud of the team and Ms Zirkle. Well done.

Anne said...: Yay, Aliy!!! We've been cheering you on and are so glad you are safely in, and with a fantastic time to boot!!!
Too bad you came in the middle of the night... we didn't stay up to see you come in live, sorry. So it's nice to see the Aliy cam shots.
Should be awake to see Allen come in though!
I'm sure it's great to see your whole family there at the finish line.
Good dogs! Good (on ya) Aliy!; March 16, 2011 2:19 PM
