No Sibling Rivalry As Twins Ride the Iditarod - Kristy and Anna Berington

Having a partner can help competitors survive the Iditarod dog sled race. That's partly why Kristy and Anna Berington back each other up while running a team of 14 dogs through 975 miles of grueling Alaskan wilderness. The twins explain that racers always train their dogs to run fast, but have less success in convincing their canine team to stop. The Beringtons say that runaway dog teams are a fairly common occurrence and even non-related racers will assist when needed.
