We just had our big race of the year here in Winnipeg, the Festival du Voyageur Internation Sled Dog Classic. My son Sean raced NorthWapiti's Do You Yahoo (Yahoo) and a friend's sibe in the 3.7 mile 2 dog kicksled event and placed second in a time of 22 minutes. That included a tangle and a wipeout all within the first 1/2 mile. It was a very fast, technical trail with plenty of tight turns and ups and downs. Our trails are usually dead flat and straight so this was a real test of driving. I raced the next day with our other sibe, Chimini's Remington Steele, in the 3.7 mile skijor event and came second in a time of 20 minutes.

Note: Yahoo is out of Ch. Kainai's Anchorman and Turrick's Sand Storm.
