the reason it is unofficial is because there are several protests about today's race!! One (John Perry) guy came in with his dog sitting on top of the sled bag (that's a no no- the dog by the rules, has to be inside the bag crossing the finish line for the dog's safety - he must have had a malfunctioning zipper in the bag - Randy said he did not look happy - he won the 6 dog for this race last year) and there were 2 cross country skiers 2 inches off from the trail today also - don't know if they were just tourists or practicing for one of the events. Sooooooo ta-da-da-daaaaaaaaaa - unofficially I am 23rd out of 33 6 dog teams from 17 different countries!!!!!!!!!!!!!! some of the very best teams - I was telling another dog driver from the US that my dogs were pretty old but had run pretty good and he said he was 19th and his dogs were not old!!! so I guess I did very well for me and my dogs!
Since I raced at 1:30 we put plexiglass on one of the windows to insulate it more- we put it on one already before and have 2 to go.
I took a picture this morning of Serge Pomerlou's bus stuck in the snow next to us and the tractor pulling him out - Randy says that even if you have a lot of money, you can still have bad luck!!! It's like a stark contrast between the wealthiest traveling dog truck and the most creative!! He travels with 3 full time employees that train and race his dogs. That's Randy in the black carharts and red hood directing the project!

Ocean wants to go and see his Grandma and Grandpa! Of course he thinks you are a half hour drive away not 16 hours! We thought that we would just put him on the train to Quebec or package him in a box with some peanut butter cookies!
Miss you and love you. We are glad you had a great day.
Love, Cindy, Jesse, Aeja, Ocean and Oak
