Clarification
What look like white azaleas in the picture below are actually pink, as this shows. I think it was the light conditions when I took the picture that faded the colors the camera captured.

Mushers Are Tough
How tough? When is the last time you met anyone who broke their opponent’s humerus [upper arm bone] while arm wrestling.
It was a spiral break, which means the bone was twisted until it broke. Normally the elbow or shoulder would dislocate before that happened.
It helps to know that for a long time during the off season Aliy worked as a carpenter, swinging a hammer all day, and like she said, she keeps in shape.
As an aside, when someone asks “heads or tails” in an Alaskan bar, it isn’t about flipping a coin. They are betting on the way someone is going to fall when they pass out. They are a fun-loving people.
