I was really looking forward to seeing this. I went and filled in my Mushers' information and came back for a last peek and you had posted this video. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. I think I saw Quito and I know I heard Ms Watkins! What an unbelievable finish to the race because the dogs still had energy to sprint to the finish and wag their tails a lot!

A very emotional and wonderful moment. The aclarity with which the dogs heeded Aliy as they came into town and Bridgett's joy at Aliy's arrival touched me to the core.

I am in such awe of all the mushers who deal with the distance, exhaustion, etc. etc. etc. And then to see the amazing control you had over your dogs - what strength you have! And the dogs looked so full of energy considering how long they have been traveling - what athletes! Thanks for sharing this with us!!!

Wow.. I've followed along this entire race, watching you and your team. I think I shed a tear as you finished. It was amazing! I don't know about you, but I can't wait to watch you next year. I think next year is your year to win!

Good Dogs!

Go, Dogs, Go!

OMG! that was awesome, seeing it from the musher's perspective. Thanks again for showing us this! Especially liked to "how to drive sled dogs" moments(seeing when and how you give commands): I can only imagine how hard it is to drive dogs off a dark quiet trail into such light and noise and distration. Been great following you in this race, will look for more great Aliycam! Mush on!

Amazing to see how the dogs are still listening and responding to your verbal commands after such a long run - I agree - you must be very proud of your dogs - and yourself - well done :-)
