As for the trip along the coast from Unalakleet, Angie said the wind at Golovin was enough to knock you over. A big gust would come along and I’d nearly get taken out sideways – WHAM! The dogs are lower to the ground they’re not affected as much but it takes good leaders to keep the team from being pushed off course. Commenting on the trip in from White Mountain, Angie said the blow-hole was a piece of cake but then on the flats coming in from Safety, it was white out conditions because of the wind and recent snow.

Folks on the trail love and respect Angie. She’s upbeat, has a twinkle in her eye, says please & thank you, is energetic, clearly loves her athletes, loves the trail and the villages and is personable. More than one vet has commented about how in tune Angie is with her dogs and their needs. Her participation in The Last Great Race has been an Inspiration to many. Angie is a teacher and is looking to get back into education. Lucky are the students who’ll come to school next fall and say good morning to Ms. Taggart.

Born to Run,
