Last weekend, we had our first race of the season in West Yellowstone, MT! We ran the 8-dog 22mile course and received 6th place out of 16 very competitive teams! I had Bella and Alice in lead, followed by Otter, Super Cub, Emmett, Jasper, Kaycee and Ra. We completed the trail in about and hour and a half both days, but the team was faster the second day even though we had to pass twice as many teams! The dogs did really super! It was also Bella's and Alice's first race running lead together! It was a very successful weekend and it was fun to see all of my mushing friends again. Dad ran the 10 mile trail after the race on Friday just for fun with Khufu and Cessena in lead, followed by Chewy, Stitch, Eastwood, Bronson, Tut and Newman.
Another exciting part of the weekend was that I found out that I was selected to be sponsored by Manmat Dog Mushing Equipment, so the doggies will be getting some new harnesses, collars, and other goodies!
Here are some pictures from the weekend:
