Sunday the 3rd day of Laconia

Here it is Monday morning and we are already on our way back to Quebec (which means that I am already "nervous Nellie" about going through customs in 2 hours!!)

The day was beautiful!!!!!!..........for people that is,,,,,,,,,,,,  The dogs had to literally swim (well..........maybe not literally.........) to start the race!!!!  The starting chute turned into a pond!!!!!  Surprisingly the trail stayed pretty good - though there were some more ponds and some bare ground on the way!  Randy came in first again because of the reverse order and stayed in 11th place which earned him $300!!!  most winnings of the year!!!  He had a little problem with dogs getting tired but they seemed to snap out of it once they knew they were on their way "home"!  One dog, Fred (who had led the first 2 days but had discovered snow dipping and now is not the best choice for a leader on a warm race day) got his leg over the line and Randy had to stop and untangle him - but the rest went pretty smooth!
After the race we went to a very nice dinner at the country club for the awards and went back and parked at the same place to sleep. 
Up early this morning at 7 and on the road by 10am - found our way to the expressway/93 and just crossed into Vermont - should be back to Bellerive's by about 4 - then have to figure out when and how to train again for the St. Luc (Bellerive's race that they sponsor) race this weekend!!!!
