Theme Song for Allen Moore, Bib #6
As you all know by now, Allen Moore is married to Aliy Zirkle, Bib #24. Well, I hate to bring it up but Aliy is pretty far ahead of Allen at the moment, so I thought this would be a good tune for Allen to be humming to himself as he tries valiantly to catch his beautiful wife (check out the posts "Ophir in Rearview Mirror of Top 17" and "Mushers Banquet").
Aliy is at the moment at the Kaltag checkpoint, 624 miles from the start; Allen is at Eagle Island, 567 miles from the start. Fifty-seven miles is not impossible to make up considering the prize, and it's not too late for a final surge. Come on Allen, you can do it. If she beats you she'll expect you to do the housework for a long time.
