Two Rivers Funale

Much fun was had by all at the Two Rivers Funale.

I set off with bib number 3 in the ten-dog 20-mile class around local trails. I’d seen all of the trails before in training so there was nothing new for me to negotiate and the dogs did so well in the warm conditions. We got plenty of practice being passed from behind; we ended with a time of 1:49 and won the red lantern! I had a great time and learned so much.

Bridgett took some youngsters in the six-dog ten-mile class. Her team of Quito, Clyde, Pepe, Izzy, Outlaw and Mismo had some fun out there! Two more SP dogs were involved in the six-dog class with Ryne – she took four of her own dogs plus Nacho and Biscuit to round out her team.

The junior classes followed and ChaCha featured twice. Sam, who finished in second place in the one-dog class, had a great run with an excellent early recovery from a bit of a speed-wobble and Jacob was awesome and got up to some big speeds. Well done Sammy and Jacob!!

And, as you can see, some others made themselves comfortable in the sun to watch the junior races!
