Aliy Zirkle is my favorite. She's genuine, upbeat, and sweet as pie. She's got a huge grin that lights up the Iditarod trail. And she's one heckuva musher. Aliy came across the Iditarod finish line less than one hour after Mitch Seavey, and I was right there to see it firsthand. Delightful!
With Aliy at the post-race Musher Signing in Nome. What an awesome athlete!
