Baby we were born to run! Fur Rondy 2017

When I moved to Alaska the first time, one of the big events I shot was the North American Sled Dog Championship race in Fairbanks early in 1985.  The queen of sprint racing at that time was Roxy Wright.  Today, 32 years later, Roxy won the 2017 Fur Rendezvous Open Championship Sled dog races here in Anchorage.  3 days, a 25-mile sprint each day that takes these dogs less than an hour and a half to run.  She won.  She's 66 years old.  Alaska women are tough!  What a fun day shooting incredibly happy dogs and what fond memories triggered.
