Great lead:
I understood almost nothing about the woods until it was nearly too late.
Great ending:
Cookie, the leader, stopped before the arch and I had to drag her beneath it to finish--she was afraid of the crowd of people. I turned and could not keep from crying as I hugged my wife and son and then the dogs, starting from front to back, hugging each dog until two mushers took them away to put them on beds and I turned to the mayor of Nome who was there to greet me and said the one thing I never thought I would ever say.
"We'll be back to run it again."
And I knew that it was true.
