MUSHERS-011
Lifka's dog team races through fresh snow as they train just days before the Iditarod. "For me, all the other races were a way to gain experience so I could run the Iditarod. I’m not seeking to win, but to run my team the best I can and to finally see the Iditarod trail. There are very few chances to travel for 1,000 miles in such rugged wilderness."
