My first race is when I was five years old and I did a two dog race in Knik, Alaska They just had to set up to where you could do a loop around the lake there.
So pretty fun.
I don't know exactly how many races I've ran.
Quite a few two and 300 mile races.
Few 150s.
And then the Iditarod of course.
In school we studied the Iditarod quite a bit.
I've been watching it, knowing about it and wanting to race it since probably first grade or something.
So, you know, and then of course, the dream of wanting to race it became a dream of wanting to win it.
So that's what's kept me coming back there.
And the best we've done so far there is fourth so.
One of the number one rules in our kennel is if we're not having fun, then we need to change something up.
And, you know, sometimes it's dog specific one dog and I just don't click here or there, you know, and even if it's a great athlete, I'll pass it over to another musher that it clicks with, you know, just because they should be having fun doing what they're doing, and I should be having fun doing what I'm doing The Slice, from WDSE WRPT.
