2013 Eagle Lake Sled Dog Race

On January 19th we entered two teams in the Eagle Lake race. Mom took the yearling team in the 30 mile race, and that team consisted of Kaleeta, Cree, Willow, Yentna, Ruby, Kyat, Sable and Marocca. She had a good run and enjoyed just having a nice laid back run for the yearlings sense this was their first race. I took 12 strong dogs in the 100 mile race. Team was Wat, and Bones in lead, Roland, Yoda, Wallace, Kaltag, Rimbey, Hinder, Waylon, Lumos, Rosa, and Dixie. All 12 finished, but I had to carry Wallace in the sled bag for the last 18 miles due to him being too sore to continue. I believe he fell in a moose hole on the way back to the finish line. He is better now, but had a sore hind leg. Both teams came in strong and we are really proud of their performances! Here is where you can see our results http://www.eaglelakesleddograces.com/ Mom came in 10th out of 11, and I came in 6th out of 9. Mom finishing her first race at Eagle lake!
