Last weekend kicked off the 2013 racing season with the race here inSaint Michel des Saints, Defi Du Lac Taureau.
We had a great weekend of racing & trying new leaders to get experience with Head On Passing. We treated this race as a training race as we only had one 10 mile run with the sled before the race. I was very happy with the dogs performance & their strong effort. This was also the first time this season they worked as a 12 dog unit. The conditions were tough on the first day with slush, ice & punchy snow on the lake portion of the trail. Sunday was much better due to the weather & efforts of the trail makers. It was the first race for Michele & Ben, they both did a great job which made my job a lot easier. I would also like to acknowledge Valerie, Laurent, Loic & Anthony Gonsolin for their assistance getting us to the Starting Shoot & the return to our truck after the race. The photos above show our teams from introduction to the Open Class in Sprint Racing. If & when photos are available of the race last weekend, I will add them.
Until next week........
