There is a lot of excitement, game playing and noise in NOME during race time.
ALIY ZIRKLE had just finished the race and a few hours later she was in one of the bars (not for drinking but for fun) that had a lot of "activities" going on. Arm wrestling was going on at that time. ALIY was up with a California lawyer girl who won last year so she thought why not this year---AND with ALIY!!! YES!!! Well she won the first, ALIY took the next two then the finale was on when ALIY and the rest of the bar heard a crack---the other girls arm broke!!! ALIY felt terrible, she had BROKEN this girls arm!!! Sling on they all took it as part of the game. That's NOME fun for you. ALIY said maybe no more arm wrestling for her.
