At 2.31pm Allen and the Black team raced into the Two Rivers checkpoint in first position. Here they have a mandatory eight hour layover for the dogs and mushers to rest up before the final push into Fairbanks.
He came in with Scout and Quito in the lead and nine happy, wagging tails behind them. Hugh Neff followed them in 16 minutes later.
They look amazing! They will get to finish in the cool of the night. Fantastic planning team!!
The superstar SP Kennel dogs look fantastic. Loved the cheering section you can hear on the video too! Roll on Allen, bring it home. Go Dogs!
Incredible! They are coming in so fast and so excited! It's amazing that they have run 900 miles back to their own home.
HAPPY team!
Any idea what time we should start looking for Allen in Fairbanks?
Congratulations guys….You have the sassiest looking team in the Quest. They are beautiful. I would like to see a team look like that after 50-70 miles but 950 miles, plus or minus a few is fantastic….and it all thanks to you both….
Running an excellent race, Allen. Hoping you this will be your year to take it all.
Looking Good!!!
GOOOOO Allen, bring it home. Go Dogs! – This is your year and your Quest, sorry Hugh! :-)…and congrats, it's amazing race !!
Greetings from Switzerland
so excited! hope to see you all in the morning!
Way to go Allen! Excited for you and all of the SP family.
I don't know if I'll be able to let myself go to sleep. I'll have to keep checking to see how close to the finish the team
Wagging tails and focused, they brought tears to my eyes seeing them come into home turf so strong and happy!! Mighty fine, Allen and dogs!!
