Handlers (usually friends or family), friends, family and folks like you two are the behind the scenes people. Most folks that follow the mushers are unaware of how much work it really takes to get through a year in the life of a musher(s) who seek to race dogs. Having helped Aliy and Allen in many other ways, I have never had the chance to experience the handler side of things. Hats off to Ray, Bob, Bridgett, Ryne, and those who came before you, who served as handlers over the years. It is definitely important to have knowledgable handlers for a successful race. Enjoy the Iditarod as best you can. It is much more expensive and difficult to get to the check points. Will be looking forward to your posts. <br />Thank you.Eddie's momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-51261331645501039232012-02-16T16:09:26.676-09:002012-02-16T16:09:26.676-09:00What a lot of responsibility you had.

I'll be eagerly following you during the Iditarod, too, and I also congratulate Allen on an excellent race.

Your insights and pictures have added much to my understanding of what goes on in the life of both the dogs and the mushers. I like that bit about ensuring the musher has ALL mandatory gear! <br /><br />Please keep writing! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
