Excellent 1st race for Will yesterday placing 4th out of 19 teams in the 50 miler and just 7 minutes behind the winner uncle Lance Mackey and 33 seconds behind Yukon Quest champ Sebastian Schnuelle . A total of 43 teams at our local race which made for VERY congested trails and constant passing. The 50 milers went out after the 100 milers so Will passed over 30 teams in the 1st 20 miles. It was also a 1st race for the majority of our young team. Trail conditions were slow and punchy in sections with lots of fresh snow~
