The last great race in America began today as 96 mushers and their dogs began the 1150 mile route to Nome, Alaska. Today was the ceremonial start of the race as one by one, the teams made their way through the streets of Anchorage. Tomorrow the race will start for real and you can catch all the action here. I've actually been fortunate enough to see the race as we were living in Anchorage in the 1970's and it's something that I'm glad I got to witness. In the age of high paid brats playing basketball and baseball, it's nice to see something that is about more than money or fame. These men and women, along with their amazing sled dogs, will brave ferocious blizzards, temperatures near 40 below zero and terrain that most of us could never even imagine. Best of luck to all the teams.
UPDATE: Go Zoya DeNure, she's totally hot.
