Aliy and Allen have just started the Solstice 50/100 Mile Sled Dog Race here in Two Rivers!
As soon as both teams had left the starting point, I packed up the dog truck as fast as I could and hurried back here to the Kennel. In a little race of my own, I have taken the footage I shot this morning and edited it into this video post. (Special thanks to Wilson — my fabulous MacBook Pro — for an astonishingly fast job of processing video!)
I have only a few minutes before I must climb into Big Red and hustle up the road to the checkpoint where Aliy and Allen will soon be arriving. So, I don’t have time to write about what you’re going to see and will have to hope that the video is self-explanatory.
I tried to do a pretty complete narrative while I was shooting, so I hope it works out for you. Please let me know in the comments!
Hi Macgella
You do such a wonderful job of bringing the experience of the kennel life and the race to us. I love it and get lots of laughs.
Great coverage… felt as though I was there… at least in spirit. I was warm with a wonderful glass of wine in my hand! Looking forward to the next installment which should be about placement. Hope for the best!
Wilson & friends, exciting reporting! video, chatting plus energies! without the "cool". j
That was a good explanation of the start of the race. Keep up the good work!
That was a good explanation. Keep up the good work! It was interesting to hear the dogs’ point of view.
Really enjoy the coverage, Macgellan. You do such a great job! Since I can’t be there in person, this is definitely the next best thing! Look forward every day to new posts!
Thanks Mac for the excellent race coverage and commentary. Enjoyed the spot interviews with Manny and the other fur kids! Allen and his team of youngsters did a fantastic job on showing that the SP Kennel team has the right stuff!
