day two in Fairbanks Alaska

  Well it was another day come and gone. The days fly by when we are out racing. The kids did the same today. Ben had to stop his team shortly after he left the starting chute. Not sure what happened.  The stop cost him third place today. His leader is barely hanging in due to a bite on his shoulder less than a week ago. The bite happens to be right under his harness. not good. Another dog came up lame today on his team so he will likely start with five dogs tomorrow. His team is just hanging on. Ben has to run farther on Sunday so it will be interesting how they look on their way in.

  Rachel had another strong run but had to stop today also. The dogs took a wrong turn. Thanks to our friend Areleigh Reynolds the dogs are running good. He gave a leader to Rachel to run with. Rachels leader is in heat and the only other leader is a male. This weekend has been fun but we have had alot of things not go our way.  Some organizing at the truck will help also. The Callis's are running strong and Gracie is winning by a long shot. Congrats. to Gracie Callis.  I will let you know how things go tomorrow. Talk to you all later.
