| Zoya DeNure Finish line! NOME, ALASKA 11 days, 19 hours. LEAD DOGS NOTHING BETTER & Twinkle led our team in from safety. So proud of those two. Nothing Better is a rescue and Twinkle , his daughter just turned 2. Honestly I didn't expect much from These two but both stepped up later in the race after Fender was dropped and team dynamics changed. I needed them and they got that. Thunder was a mainstay leader taking us across the sea ice out of shaktoolik and long treacherous sections of trail in either single lead or partnering up with Nothing. For days on end. Running day & night for 11 days straight. It's almost surreal Just how capable we are, our dogs too..Iditarod will challenge all of your mental and physical faculties. Total rock star dogs running strong and loyal to their team. I never once thought about dropping, never once thought about going home early. Just moving forward with faith and confidence in my team. I love them all so much, loved seeing their faith in me to care for them and their eager to please attitude. It's so rewarding to raise and train your own dogs and help rehab and develop rescues that just need more time, love and training. So proud of my dogs, this epic journey across Alaska and our team effort to get it done through the good times and days of -56 below zero. Never stop believing in yourself ...and your dreams...even if it feels like everyone else had... If you believe it, you can achieve it. Race Banquet in a few hours... More soon, xo With love from Nome, AK Zoya

Joe Henderson | Alaskan Arctic Expeditions UPDATE FROM THE ARCTIC: Traveling in the arctic foothills, a windswept region with long gradual rolling hills and deep canyons. Found a great campsite and seeing lots of caribou here as the high winds whip snow of the hilltops leaving grasses exposed for caribou to graze on.
