Not quite as good as we had hoped............

Randy put Swix in lead with Greg (who is already pretty old for a leader but still dependable - at least for shorter races) and I could tell she didn't start out very well from the chute - and she didn't do well after that either............  After about 4 miles of Greg towing her and slowing everybody down, Randy stopped and put Fred up there and things went somewhat better until Lester (the dog we bought last year that was really going to "jump start" the team this year.............) started neck lining and finally dragged - so then Randy had to put him in the bag - we can't tell what the problem was, he isn't limping and acts fine??!!!  So, all in all, Randy dropped down to 14th .............not what we wanted....
Only one more race in two weeks at Valcartier - the snow and water part just north of Quebec City - we may also go to a fun run there next weekend and be able to have the dogs run the trail before the real race!!!
