Aliy Zirkle is not only a favorite of people from NH, but of the whole sled dog community. She is the one who went back for her friend near the finish a few years ago, depriving herself of a chance of winning.
The places still look familiar to me and carry some nostalgia, even though I was only there for a week two years ago. I hope my son and his family move to Anchorage and I never have to see it again, though.
She might have remembered winning with pride and pleasure, but I'll bet this tie proves a more lasting joy.
