00:00All I wanted to do was be like my dad.

00:05I couldn't imitate him enough.

00:11The winner of the 1978 Iditarod Trail Race at eight years old.

00:16You see a dad win, really, really stuck.

00:25These are the toughest miles.

00:26It's up and down.

00:27It's ice.

00:28It's rocks.

00:29It's dirt.

00:30It's holes.

00:32It is hell.

00:34I started racing dogs before I was even born.

00:36I was seven months pregnant with him when I was in the North American race.

01:16Just fixing to go into surgery.

01:18I was told not to ever race dogs again.

01:20The doctor finally came out.

01:22He looked me right in the eye and he says,

01:24Well, he ain't pretty.

01:26But I got it all.

01:29I believe we got a second chance at life for a reason.

01:33Life just changed.

01:36This is the reason.

01:37The dogs needed me.

01:42And I needed them.

01:48The competitors were saying,

01:50It was a fluke.

01:51That'll never happen again.
