Back in training!

It's been a while, but the dogs are back in training and pulling well. All of the dogs are looking much better and the Pursuit/Momentum mix has worked wonders on those few dogs who were thin. It's nice to see these guys with so much energy! They look great, they are running well and they are in high spirits. That's what we strive for.

The Solstice is cancelled (no surprise) due to lack of snow. However, there is a new race on the horizon...the Cantwell Classic that will run from Jan. 12-14, 2007. This race has an excellent venue for the new musher, as well as veteran racers. It is a 200 mile race that runs from Cantwell to Maclaren River Lodge and back to Cantwell, all on the Denali Highway. The race will start at Noon on Jan. 12th, with a restart at Maclaren at 10am on Jan. 13th. This race should be a great learning experience for all, with some nice, smooth trails along the way. I am entering this race with the A team and hope to do well. There is a limit of 30 teams, so if you are thinking of giving this race a try, you'd better get those entries in fast!

Well, I'm off. The dogs will be running 30-40 milers within the next week. It would just be nice to be able to do it on sleds instead of the ATV. Bleh!
