  • Commando…that face though!
    Hoping that every rookie makes it to Nome.
    Aliy and Allen, run well.

    Loved that Insider video of Aliy. It gave me so much insight as to what she and Jeff were experiencing getting into Safety. What a life-changing experience…priorities totally changed.

    Be safe.

  • Izzy Mismo and Nelson, look alive, watch your step! Daddy Biscuit is behind you, checking all those check points to make sure you're NOT staying.

    Whew, what a gene Pool!

    Have an awesome race Black and Red teams!

  • Wishing both 2-legged and 32 4-legged SPK racers a fantastic Iditarod. All the best to the Red Team and the Black Team. Cheering from NC – always proud to be a fan of Aliy & Allen and their superstar dogs! Get after it!

  • Really interested to see how these teams do–seems as if Aliy and Allen have shaken it up a bit.

    I was absolutely glued to my computer screen this afternoon as I watched via live stream as all the teams took off. Thought maybe both Aliy and Allen could hear me scream "Go, Go, Go!" as they each left for Nome.

    I wish them –as always–a good race, safety on the trail and a first place win for Aliy and her fabulous dogs. This has got to be her year.

    Thank you for this dog log. All of us supporters truly appreciate what you do.

  • Kodak in lead on black team!! Such great training for my sponsored boy!! Woo Hoo, Hope he does well for you Allen! Go Kodiak, little man!! Go Allen and black team dogs!!

    Aliy, good wishes again flowing with you along the trail safe and great journey to the win!! We are pushing for you down here in the lower 48!! Gooooo Aliy!!! Go dogs!

  • Thanks, so much for the list of dogs on the teams! Although it is easier to remember the human instead of 16 dogs, aren't the dogs the point?!

    Go Mismo! and the sistas Chica and Quito. I could go on and on.

    Wish Iditarod Insider had more videos of Aliy already in the race.

  • What power packed team line-ups. It was so thrilling to watch both teams leaving from Fairbanks. Go all the way to Nome swiftly &safely, Aliy. Safe travels Allen with the youngsters.
