I haven’t talked about #qditarod because it just hasn’t been the time for me. But when I arrived in UNK in heat of day, supporters said, “keep going, or they’ll withdraw you.” I couldnt. I promised the dogs rest, and it didn’t feel right. Our trust means more than any race judge.
Now I am crying you guys. I’m literally crying even typing about #qditarod. Because those dogs are amazing. Every single step of the way, they were confident and present and trusting. I wanted to travel with them forever. It has been one of the greatest joys of my life. 
I thought we’d have down moments. I thought down moments were normal for any challenging undertaking whatsoever. I would have accepted that we’d be tired sometimes, etc. I kept waiting. But every step of the way, they wanted to see what was next. I couldn’t believe it. #qditarod
