Our team of Julia, Liller, Buffy, Ruthie, Kiddo, Martin and Quattro placed ten out of 28 in a chilly competitive Jackpine 30 this weekend.
Although we didn't want to know the temps at start time they varied in the area surrounding from minus 19 to minus 32. With new snow and a last minute reroute of the trail it was punchy trails and plenty of challenge. Julia's recount of the race sounds like a straight from Disney movie, including losing her team a few times, once on top of a ski hill. They were caught by a
skiier but he let them go when he thought she could reach them, so of course off they went again. After the race the mushers shared their stories of losing their teams on the very challenging trail.
We are very proud of our great team, Liller being a ten year old leader and Martin, returning to the race world for a bit. Strong and beautiful they are!
Thank you to Stan for being a great tour guide , contributing the only photos (I broke my camera) and listening to the all day chatter about dogs!
