They will help a fellow racer in trouble even if it costs them precious time. Good to hear about the four footed team members and what each contributed. Proud of those young dogs and how well they are shaping up. <br />Pets and scratches to each and a treat, well-deserved!

It brings the Quest to life as I sit in my kitchen in Wisconsin. Great story about Ryne. She is a quality person. You have such a terrific friendship.

I complained about the cold for the 3 minute walk from the parking lot to church tonight....it's 9 degrees which probably would seem warm to you.

Helping others is something that maybe was passed down or at least reinforced by Aliy and Allen over the years with Ryne. Thank you, Ryne. What goes around comes around. <br />And wow - Aliy - what a GREAT race! Congratulations! All those youngsters! A lot of 'newbies' and my goodness the team did an awesome job. Now that this 'training run' (ha) is over, do you think any of the younger/newer athletes will make your Iditarod team? I can't believe what an incredible job they did on this race - can't believe it. And looking at the mountains/climbs/whatever, it is a grueling 300. Thank you for the wrap up and thank you for sharing the details. We will now be focusing all of our cheering on the Black Team!

I noticed the YQ 300 race rules were a bit sparce on the mandatory rests....6 hours...unlike the CB300 where it is basically prescribed! I would think teams enjoy the flexibility...and it allows strategy to play a role too....knowing your Team and its ability is the key....you have that down pat! Im thinking next time you will be packing some creepers for traction? OH....and Chemo...SO glad you got to run in lead my boy!!! Sounds like Aliy's sweet talking to you put some fast energy in your step! We are SO proud of you!! Good Boy!!

There was a picture on YQ Facebook of Allen and team on the trail and the first thing I thought was that it was a mature, well-trained and well-handled team. Of course the leaders were not rookies, but the team on the whole looked like "we got this!"<br /><br /> Aliy, you and the red team dogs did awesome! I love the locker room style analysis of the race. That's what you do after a big game, you analyze, assess, make notes and move forward. And Ryne, what a great friend/fellow musher she is! I get more hooked on SPK each year I follow you. And SPK crew, you all are what holds it all together. Your work does not go unnoticed.
