Running with the reindeer!

I ran in Anchorage's 5th annual Running With the Reindeer, similar to the Running of the Bulls, but with docile friendly reindeer instead. It coincides with the start of the Iditarod. You are encouraged to be in costume when you run, so this is the best I could come up with on short notice. I expected the reindeer to be nice and slow...they were crazy! They wanted to get the hell out of there. I saw one reindeer knock a guy to the ground. And those antlers are SHARP. Such a fun experience. I recommend it - if you come to Alaska, do it during Fur Rondy. It is amazing.
