Race pic

This is my favourite picture from this winter. Sunnifa's dad took it at one of the races. It's of me and my team leaving the start line. Lucky (by himself in the 'swing' position) is my best puller and it shows here. Ears back, tail in a low curl...he's all business. The 'wheel' dogs (Tavarez and Lew) are actually raring to go. Lew has that glint in her eyes and Tavarez is wearing a big smile. They look good here. I think that the leaders make the photo. The yearling, Bert, is all about going out and running while "old man Joh" takes a second to make sure the pup isn't screwing anything up.

We came in third place that day. 5.9 miles in 27 minutes 4.3 seconds. A whopping 4.59 mph.
