Second day of 8 dog race results

Thanks for the comments, Mitz!! Dad's 8 dog team has no yearlings in it this time. they are mostly 4 and 5 year olds, not quite quick enough to make the open team. All of the good 2 year olds are in the open team and running good, but have only trained once (last Wed) And 747 is going to run on my team (6 dog) because Tarzan's team member (Cyber) bit him on the leg and it's still swollen; From yesterday, Dad came in 19th (mostly because of Maria's foot pad being injured/missing and 4 people dropped from the race because they thought the trail was too soft. A big ruckus about whether Steve Long could race yesterday - he raced the first day (supposedly because Max told him he could) and then yesterday when he had his dogs ready to hook up, the USA Mushing rep told him he could not. Randy had a clean run, just not quick enough.

Last nite I asked Bellerives if they would stay here at the lodge for dinner so we could visit with them and we had a wonderful dinner together (I had a salmon in phyllo dough) and then watched the entire video that the French guys took during the race last year - shows alot of Randy training and racing - about 1 hour (the clip on the Daaquam web site is a part of this)

Today and the rest of the week there will be school kids wandering all over during the day as school trip- including blow up bouncy caterpillar, and the blow up gladiator game, dog sled rides and sledding and fishing for trout in the lake - very fun!! Some are complaining that the prices are a little steep - $12 a day admission to watch the race and see/do all the activities and Melanie got a 2 coffees (one with Baileys) and it was $8.50!!
Randy says he needs a bologna sandwich before he runs today so I better sign off!
