I could not imagine doing 100 miles! Very awesome that you are going to be changing up the types of racing you are doing though.

Team looks great! Looking forward to seeing your progress as you build them up to distance running. If you are looking for more long-distance mentors there are some great folks out here in New England who are experienced in mid-distance and distance. Jaye Foucher of Sibersong Sleddogs comes immediately to mind.

A beautiful training run in Idaho today! The team is looking great and having fun as we count the days until Mother Nature cranks up the heat and takes our trail time away-

Yesterday's training run in Spirit Lake ID was a blast Keegan is really adapting to his latest role! He's been a fantastic addition to the team!

Yes, our winter has been anything BUT winter! UGH! I can count on one hand how many times I've been on the runners of my sled we're headed off to MT this weekend for one last trip on snow before the season ends entirely. Haven't quite decided who is on the team for that race, but stay tuned!

I know a few people from Massachusetts who would gladly trade...as well as my Ostrich son with the 150' driveway and no snowblower, no plow, and working out of town most of the winter with a wife at home
Good luck on your MT run. I like your new signature!

Quick video of our run at the Flathead Classic. Most likely our last run on snow this year. It was hard and fast, the course was uniquely challenging, but overall it was an amazing time

This was only a 4 mile sprint race. We did it more for fun than for anything else, but they did us proud! Hoping for a better training routine and maybe even a bit more snow to train on next season

Finding photos surfacing from the race! Tumnatki's Dream Weaver was published in a MT newspaper!

Is it hard to pass teams in these races? I noticed in the video that the trails aren't very wide and don't seem to have much passing room. Frustrating?
I really hope you guys have a better winter next year!

Two sections of this trail were non-passing. It opened up quite a bit on the main trail and passing was easier.

That's a wonderful picture, Lani! Hopefully, next year you'll get the snow you need!

Look at those puppies go! What a nice way to spend some time. Looks like spring has descended in your area?

Yes we are in the full swing of spring....our running days are numbered for sure as we are looking at highs in the mid to high 50s next week, hopefully it will cool back down. Trying to make it to the Spring Fling at the end of April....we'll see

It was a beautiful morning for a run it's getting warmer faster and that has been noticed in the team's performance. But they're still looking great! Our last event is scheduled for the end of the month, providing the weather holds out!

Our final race of the season out at the NWSDA Spring Fling at Camp K was a huge blast! We ran the 6-dog Sprint earning a 5th place of 7 entries and only purebred entry for the class-
