Great, fun weekend! Nicely groomed trail Saturday. 

Sunday we had 6+ inches of new snow on the trail.

Snitch did fabulous for his first race in lead, he had a few 'yearling' moments but overall we were very happy.

Seeker ran on Robert Bain's team.

Photo Finish! (by Richard Hebert)

Extremely hilly, twisty, turny challenging (but fun!) trail with many road crossings and turns. 

Mixed A & B strings for this race as experiment.

Flutie & Paxson's each first race in lead, they did great as this was a fairly challenging race for new leaders.

Swift didn't run due to recovering injury, Lumos didn't run because we needed to cut one dog.

Kelly's first time in the Pro class with the only Siberian team.  Started last because they didn't get our email entry.

Very hot, warm weekend, 50 in the shade Sunday... had to stop and cool off the dogs in the snow.

B team was running mediocre so didn't have a good race, overall not our best weekend... it happens!

Extremely fast, hard, icey trail due to two days our rain before the race which then froze solid.  We both ended up down plowed roads and couldn't stop many times.  Due to this we decided not to go back Sunday.  Swift had left front injury due to the hard trail Sat.  Kelly was in first place Saturday with a time of 1 hr 32 minutes.

Coming soon!

Challenging, hilly, twisty fun course, trail was in excellent shape, temps in upper 20's. 

Mixed A & B strings for this race.

Teams flew on the way out, but really slowed down and were 'done' racing the last 1/4 of the race.  Our fault for doing more sprints lately :)  Still proud of how they performed the first half though! (L) means that dog was switched into lead at one point during the race... we did that to try and pick up speed at the end.

Swift didn't run due to recovering injury from Stratford.

No Images From This Race.

Warm temps, wide open sunny road, hilly.

Ran  A & B strings for this race.

Kim had awesome run on the way out, on the way back had leader trouble and dogs really slowed down because of getting warm.  Linc ended up being the super star leader at the end! Sirius hardly pulled, later found out he had a sore front.

Kelly borrowed Chandler from Gail, Creek & Jackson from Jaye.  She had a 'off' race, dogs were flat, she switched almost every dog around.  Brady didn't want to run so she tried bagging him.
