I find myself hoping it is not a rookie that was dropped - making it all the way is so significant. I would love to see Allen race this last leg more competitively, but I trust him to keep the youngsters focused and successful.<br /><br />I confess, I did not stay up past 12:20 last night. I just couldn't - I had been in front of the computer most of the day and I was starting to feel stretched, thin. Thinking of the outpouring of support and concern for her, I trusted many other caring individuals would follow along, but my last thoughts as I drifted off to sleep were of her and the team.<br /><br />Here's the thing - Aliy and Allen are both emotionally strong, well grounded people. Despite the trauma, they have held together as a unit and a team and continued to live the life they want. In one of her posts, she said she'd realized you need to "suck it up, Buttercup". When I saw how calm, relaxed, and genuine she was in both Galena and Koyukuk, I felt that was just what she was doing. I stopped worrying.<br /><br />Yeah, me, right - stop worrying? No I mean it. She is currently in 7th place with a team that had issues along the trail. This is phenomenal. As Jen said only 4 people have been in the top ten in consecutive years and she is one of them. At her current pace, with her good sense, strength and great team and position, she could add another consecutive year to that record.<br /><br />YES!Writing and Life : Tothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531776290882985366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-78328746916408492482017-03-12T08:56:07.197-08:002017-03-12T08:56:07.197-08:00Aliy, praying for safety for you and your dogs.
