I've been obsessed with TLGR since the second running. Dying with the heat & humidity in Boston, I decided to get a dose of pre-2011 race fever. So glad I did. Watching your videos after the race was wonderful. Now, reading your trail notes has put me in "go" mode. I love to read, but am a slow reader. Your notes read like one of my favorite books which I read in a day and a half because I couldn't put it down. That was The Perfect Storm. Just finished part 1, and am now heading for part 2. Thank you so much for posting/sharing such a personal experience. Hope to see you in person for the 2012 race, but if I don't make it, KNOW there is a die-hard fan of yours AND The Race back east in Dorchester, MA rooting for a smooth, clean and SAFE race for you and your wonderful team. Many, many thanks, and God Bless!Ann McGinnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-49537429496624099632010-07-09T23:37:13.973-08:002010-07-09T23:37:13.973-08:00Chloe and Indigo.

I have finished Part 2 of 4, so I hope you guys get time to read it.<br />The best from all of us in Alaska!Aliy Zirklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390468864086299889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-44793291660060389082010-07-07T22:19:40.967-08:002010-07-07T22:19:40.967-08:00We are enjoying reading this.

Please give Chica and Quito a hug from us. Our local skifield has just opened. It is strange to think you are having summer now.<br />From Chloe and IndigoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-28139784515250000912010-07-07T11:49:49.429-08:002010-07-07T11:49:49.429-08:00Wow!

I've been waiting for this - I'm still in awe of the Happy River Steps video (the one that took out the camera mount, I believe).<br /><br />Thanks so much and I'm looking forward to reading what happened to Cha Cha near the end (my theory is that she wanted to have her son, Dingle, get the experience in lead crossing the finish line). All the best of luck to SP and to you, Aliy!about westonhttp://margaret@aboutweston.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-6021538876988384622010-07-05T17:38:05.045-08:002010-07-05T17:38:05.045-08:00Hey Love your stories,also the videos are great.So...Hey Love your stories,also the videos are great.Some day I will make a trip up there.Just love the dogs.Thanks for sharing so much about your kennels and adventures.<br /><br />PRjplifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196329025256215422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-45565772977920063232010-07-03T18:36:09.977-08:002010-07-03T18:36:09.977-08:00I too have been waiting for this Aliy.

What an amazing story! The glacier crossing was a heart-stopper for me....I can only imagine what it was like for you!<br /><br />I am constantly amazed and impressed with the care and concern you have for each and every one of your team members! It was so interesting hearing about the relationship of the team members, the ages, etc. It appears nothing is left to chance!<br /><br />I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate in the ANWR dog sled adventure! Though it doesn't compare to the trials and tribulations you face on the Iditarod trail, I feel I can relate to the Iditarod adventure in some small way! (Oh how I want to go back!)<br /><br />I look forward to reading the next three installments when you get to them!<br /><br />Have a great summer!<br /><br />Linda FinkelUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03290446388974602667noreply@blogger.com
