We are now counting down to another race and getting miles.
The team is narrowing down and it looks like it might be:
Buffy, three year old female leader; Ruthie, three year old female;
Liller, ten year old female tough! leader, Kiddo, three year old female, team dog,
Martin , nine year old male wheel dog and Herman or Quattro, (two year old male or three year old female) wheel dog.
Liller is an Iditarod veteran. Martin is a Yukon Quest veteran, Buffy is a Tustumena 200 veteran and Kiddo, Quattro, Ruthie and Liller are JP 30 veterans.
In this photo, on this day, these dogs were running full out at 22mph; we slowed them with the drag pace them for a longer run.
Today they ran sixteen miles. The plan is to run 21 miles on the next run. The race is next weekend. If it is too warm, Martin will not make the team and will be replaced by Quattro.
