SP Kennel’s Red Team have just finished Iditarod 2010. Aliy Zirkle and eight fantastic dogs — Dingle, Rose, Bullet, Skittles, Tony, Nutmeg, Biscuit & Tatfish — crossed under Nome’s famous burled Arch in 16th position after only 9 days, 18 hours. This was Aliy’s fastest time ever in her ten consecutive Iditarod finishes!

Everyone on the Team — canine and human — has had a big hot meal and is tucked in for a good sleep. We’ll follow up with them all very soon… Stay tuned!

  • Thanks for this great video. The Insider video of everyone but the top 3 is short and not very satisfying. I'm thrilled to see Aliy coming down the street, even if the dogs are a little distracted. I wait for the women to come in – then the race is over for me. Congratulations on a fast and excellent run. I loved all your videos and commentary – I learned so much about the trail that way. You are providing a terrific service to future mushers, fans, and kids all around the globe. I'll be supporting you and cheering you on in future years too. Way to go Aliy!

  • Good job, Aliy, Dingle, Rose, Bullet, Skittles, Tony, Nutmeg, Biscuit, and Tatfish! What an accomplishment! No Cha Cha? I hope she didn't mind being left behind.

    I've been looking forward to this video since I watched Aliy arrive in Nome on the BSSD camera. I was cheering the team on while sititng in front of my computer monitor, but your video is sooo much better. Loved how the dogs perked up and picked up the pace when you called out to them.

    Thanks for recording this for all of us to enjoy.

  • congratulations Aliy!
    congratulations dogs!

    MacG: thanks again for the great reporting :o)
    your knowing of the dogs and bringing this into the videos makes them even better.

    Fascinating: quiet rose & quiet bullet, those tough little gals, tough to the end!
    and: biscuit & tatfish the two wild ones that were hooked up last … still looking like two strong guys :o)

  • Great race Aliy! Loved the video from the aliycam. Wonderful for those of us with iditarod fantasies. Thanks so much for that.

  • Congrat's on a wonderful finish!
    You and your wonderful team (dogs, handlers and blog master) have educated all of us on the efforts required to run this wonderful race.
    I can see and hear why you love to do what you do and why.
    Aliy: You are an amazing woman that I admire and respect.
    Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us all.
    Hugs to you and your team!!!
