By running races! You have every right to be proud of this team and the very creditable job they did. It's true that a 300 miler and a 1000 miler need different skills and behaviors. Seems to be looking good for YQ.

It's so clear that Allen & Aliy are really striving to give the dogs the best opportunity to shine while practicing patience, providing them with a fun experience and still aiming to be highly competitive and win. I look forward to seeing all these great dogs names again in future wrap up posts that tell how they absolutely rocked down the trail and got it done.

The wrap up reminded me of one of my favorite quotes: "The best solution to a problem is to solve it." Everyone at SP Kennels seems to go about their daily tasks - at home or on the race course - with a calm, caring and analytical viewpoint towards the 4-leggeds in your care. You and Aliy are both living examples of happy humans with happy dogs...easier said than done under the pressure of racing. Keep up the good work and know that a lot of us out here are following, hoping for more.

I simply don't know how you have the time to examine each dog so closely throughout all the race time.

I heard your interview an...Thanks for the wrap up. I heard your interview and wondered who was done racing, Outlaw. I still would have to guess who led you to trees.....Kodiak?? With all the challenges Allen had to overcome the team did great. <br /><br />My guess on the picture:<br />I think that picture was taken at Sourdough. I saw when Allen came in, had to get the team to a spot., got them settled down, fed, then took a nap, got moving, (I'm guessing put booties on, in picture), then the tracker showed Allen wasn't moving for 1/2 hour or so, must have laid down with Mismo and Kodiak. Then you got up and got ready to go again. Great shot! BTW<br /><br />All the armchair mushers out there....Think about a 6 hour rest stop...first hour to hour and a half maybe 2 hours - straw is put down, give dogs a snack while the musher prepares a good warm kibble high protein meal, take booties off, feed the dogs, massage dogs, make sure all the dogs needs are taken care of, THEN the musher gets to eat, settle down and sleep 2-3 hours, if that much, get up, maybe have something to eat to get you going, maybe give the dogs something to eat to get them going, put booties on, load up sled, get going. There is probably a lot more involved than this...order probably different....it just makes you appreciate what all is involved....the kind of athletes Allen and Aliy are. Of course the dogs are great athletes too.<br /><br />I'm an armchair analyzer these days...I was an athlete and was always very competitive...now I deal with my disability so I like breaking down and analyzing this keeps me busy.. <br /><br />Thanks from Vermont.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023068524242748614.post-70875005873993417312016-01-14T05:01:42.823-09:002016-01-14T05:01:42.823-09:00Love the information here.

Much to look forward to in the weeks ahead. You gotta love Mismos's attitude of just let me run, I don't care where...no complaining, just get the job done. That's a good example for us humans to follow. Also,that picture is awesome!

Watching from the sidelines, waiting to see how the younger generation would do, I am reassured (and relieved) that the members of the Latino litter, and especially two, were stand outs. They are coming into their own. And, it looks like I wasn't imagining it when things noticeably slowed down with Nelson out of the mix. He must be one strong fella. It's also reassuring that Junior, Kodiak and Commando, the following generation, can begin to fill some very big shoes.<br />Writing and Life : Tothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531776290882985366noreply@blogger.com
