Knik 200 Finish - 7:20 am January 5, 2009
Finishing putting everything away after arriving at 7:20am
On the Yetna River - 7pm with Newman in the sled taking a snoozeAfter 200 miles, 30 hours outside in the negative weather (I think the warmest was -20 degrees), 2-3 hours of sleep, frigid temperatures reaching at least -48, a frost-bitten big toe, and finishing with 11 dogs out of the 12 I started with, I finally made it in this morning at 7:20. I am amazed that I felt fairly awake and not too sore. After getting up after 5 hours of rest, I am feeling a bit hazy. I just wanted to let you all know that I finished, and I will try to get some photos up today or after I return home to Ketchikan tomorrow. (Check out starting photos below)

Yea!!! That's so exciting. I can't wait to hear stories! It's been about as cold here, but then again I had more of an option when it came to being outside. ha
Angie, sooooo glad you are back safe and sound! Congratulations!!!! Looking forward to hearing all about it after you are rested.
Love,
Bev and Jack
Wow! Great job Angie!... it sure doesn't sound easy, though. I hope you get some rest and I can't wait for details.
Alright, Angie!! That's super! You made it, girl. Segment one of a "dream come true"! I'm sure you have lessons and ideas to make the next race smoother yet. Learning process! (But so is our Christian life!!!) If I was a few years younger, I might have gone with you.:) I think it would be great if you and Kelly took teams out the same year. But then, you guys, have always been my favorite handlers! Love ya, Terri
