93: Here's the Scoop on Dog Racing and the Iditarod from Identical Twin Mushers (Kristy and Anna Berington)

Nothing about Alaska captures the imagination quite like sled dog racing and mushing. Imagine bundling against sub-zero temperatures and then forward standing on a sled pulled by a team of dogs -- and, for the long distance events, doing it for days on end.
