Phantom did awesome as usual, he loped much of the race, just an amazing dog! Ran point with his brother Stryder, both know commands and sometimes have even pulled the leaders the correct way but don't seem to care to lead. I can't imagine racing without him!

Ran lead the whole race, driving hard the first 40 miles! Did a lot of passing which he needs some work on. He is a bit hesitant coming up on a team, but once he gets past the sled/driver he kicks it in gear and likes to pull away quickly. Backed off a bit after Squaw lake but then picked it back up again and was driving hard to the finish. Has become very sharp on commands, he used to be my un-guided missile:) I really like what I am seeing from him, he is turning into a top notch leader with a lot of confidence once we get his passing skills smoother!

Ran wheel until after Squaw Lake where I had to pull Tess as she was getting tired and slowing way down. As soon as I put Sparrow up in lead it was like a turbo boost, the pace picked up immediately! She drove hard the whole race, incredible athlete! Needs more work on commands and passing then she will be a phenomenal leader!

This dog just does not ever get tired! Maintained a steady pace the whole race, Stryder is one smooth running fast dog! He always runs point with his brother Phantom, both know commands but haven't wanted to lead. Stryder has never been injured, and never been tired, he is as wiggly and hard to unharness at the end of the race as he was at the beginning. Amazing animal! Can't imagine racing without him!

Couldn't have done it without this little girls help! Tess ran lead the first 40 miles of the race and was very focused trotting along, she passed other teams very business-like and helped get Radar on-by. After Squaw Lake she seemed more tired and slowed down, at one point almost stopped so I put her in wheel and put Sparrow in lead with Radar. Tess certainly wasn't the hardest pulling dog in the team, and didn't contribute a whole lot the last 15 miles or so but I couldn't have done all that passing without her help.

Xander ran wheel the whole race, boy what a powerhouse this guy is! Strong as an ox and pulled steady, one of my hardest working dogs, turning into a great leader as well! Though not built for speed, he is all heart and man is he serious about his job! The intensity in his face in the photos, you can see how focused he is. Gives his all! Tough like his father Diesel, and a huge asset in the hills! Great dog, major asset to the team!
