By getting low in the snow, i was able to get a dogs eye view of the teams and mushers as they passed by during the ceremonial start of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race in Anchorage. At this point in the race the dogs have a phenomenal amount of pent up energy that will be required to carry the team a thousand miles to Nome over the next nine or more days.
