March 1st and 2nd. Normally this race consists of two 40 mile heats this year the trail is 45 miles both days. I've wanted to race in the Tripod race for a long time since it begins in my home town. I'll be racing 10 of our main team and Will is going to race the remaining dogs from our main string along with four dogs from Alan Miller.

So proud of these champions. Folsom, Willow, Salt, Pan, Boo, Bolt, Sherpa, Bounty, Flash, and Captain. First place both days. Very rough trail in areas and lots of river ice in the first 2 miles. Day 1 time: 2:51.03 Day 2 time: 2:52.40

Team 2 with Will racing. Annie, Rachet, Fergie, Zombie, Hachet, Juggs, Thunder, Stout, Outlaw, and Stinger. 3rd place on the first day and 2nd place the following day for 2nd place overall. Outstanding Day 1 time: 3:10.52 Day 2 time: 2:56.52
