ELIM has no dog teams left right now, till Wade Marrs gets here. Aliy Zirkle left into a beautiful sunrise. Before she took some time to socialize with her fans. 

Before leaving the checkpoint, she had to go through the routine of putting 52 dog booties on. If you take 10 seconds per bootie… it takes her 13 minutes to boot the team. After she took one of her dogs for a walk, to make sure there is no stiffness and then continued to massage each dog, before hooking on the tug lines. She does that ” signature clank clank ” of whacking her snow hooks together as a starting signal. And down the trail she went.
