A mixed day! It started with super cold temperatures as we arrived at the race site – minus 22 Farenheit. The hounds’ coats got brought into the hotel the night before and they happily wore them most of the day. Sam, the not-quite 6 month old pup did NOT chew his coat today. More progress in Sam’s training.
Johnn left the start chute in the chilly ski-jor class and within 2 tenths of a mile, went down (rather than across) the first road crossing. Only one spectator saw as it’s situated behind a snack building. He was there while the next three teams left the chute. When he finally got back on trail, his skiis were badly scratched and Billie, the yearling on wheel, was badly tangled in his harness and ran the rest of the race that way. 신용카드현금화
The fastest ski-jor times of the day were captured by the Czech couple – Jana and Pavel Parulasky – 15 ;04. 98 qnd 14:58.84 respectively. I saw their 2 dog teams in the fields and they looked magnificent.Hopefully, Johnn will have a clean run tomorrow and we can see how he compares to them. The fastest 3 dog time was Jenna Dittmar at 15:45.99 and the fastest 1 dog time was claimed by Sadie Theriault at 18:13.02
Johnn had a much better run in the 4 dog class. He’s now sitting 5th out of 28 teams – 31 seconds out of first. He was quite pleased with the old man Carl (7) and the yearling Henry who ran beside him. It was Henry’s first snow race; but we feel the 4 dryland races he was in (3 of those in lead) really helped his confidence. He seemed quite pleased with himself after the team returned to the van. 신용카드현금화
Leading the 4 dog class is Jay Olmstead, followed by Sadie Theriault’s team (driven by Jason Sperry – Sadie got badly frostbite while skijoring) , then Patricia Hnatuik and Kenny Bernard. Ryan Fitch is only 5 seconds behind Johnn.
