Yikes, thought this had already been posted.
Oh well, most of you already know about it via email or from Facebook.

Thanks Libby, sounds like I did not miss much.
Was anything given to Aliy for getting herself and her team to the next checkpoint after her injury?

Libby is right! It was so incredibly lame. It all lasted less than 30 minutes and was all prerecorded. Because it was advertised as being a virtual presentation, I thought we’d at least hear a few words from the winners in real-time, but we got none of that. Even the 4x4 giveaway was boring. The mushers chose “key numbers” ahead of time for the 4x4, but I’m pretty sure the part where they tried each key was prerecorded as well. No words from the winner Lev, other than what was posted on Facebook. I met Libby in chat and I think we were both shocked that that was all there was. Very disappointing to say the least. Lame, lame, lame. :(

Edit: You can probably see it on Insider. I haven’t checked though.

Since my memory is not so good, it would have been nice to read why the people were chosen for their award, if it wasn't obvious by being 1st to somewhere.
Sorry to not see any mention of Aliy's feat of courage in getting her team to the next checkpoint. Maybe there was something, I didn't bother to watch the film, after your reports of it ;)
