We’re excited, how about you?
I am so excited that Waylon made Allen's team. He is a tiny dog with the heart of a warrior.

Wow, Waylon is running with Allen! Lots of surprises in the lineups. How exciting. and Go Red and Black team yearlings!
Finally, the day we have all been waiting for! Blessings on all of your races – Allen, Aliy, and Ryne.
Know that I, like all of your fans will be there night and day, hitting refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh…mentally willing Allen's dog to move.
Thanks in advance to the Home Team who will be keeping us updated on the SPK website. You are all awesome, and I have to say have "scooped" the official reporters time and time again.

Indeed some surprises, but overall a strong and experienced team. I'm excited to see IV run her first YQ.

I love the change ups in the rosters and especially fascinated by Allen's choices and the Red & Black team. Izzy is sitting this one out .. very interesting.
See, it's after midnight and I am up – all armchair mushers must keep in training too!
PS
I am happy to see that both of Chica's and Cutter's offspring are on the Red team and both I.V. and Puppet are racing on the Black team.
Yay! Lil Debbie going with Ryne and the puppies. Have a great race all.
Nutmeg is holding the fort?
We are all VERY excited… Lourdes, Zachary (Golden Retriever), Spock (kitty cat) and Angel (also kitty cat).
Go teams!!!!
Godspeed!
Can't add anything more to the expressions of team support we try to give online – I am following my first Yukon Quest – nothing more to say except: WOOF WOOF WOOF (one "woof" for each of SPK's teams)!!!
Good luck to Black, Red and R&B!!!
Get after it Nelson! I'm proud of you, my boy!
