The 2010/11 season

The 2010/11 Season is officially upon us.

We had the first run of the season today, a 3 mile run with 12 dogs. The dogs did GREAT! No major tangles or problems, everybody behaved well, and the dogs returned to the lot looking energetic and happy.

What does the '10/'11 season hold for us?

As far as races go, we are going to try to run the West Yellowstone race, the Jr. Race to the Sky again, and make another (and final) bid at the Jr. Iditarod. If we do make it to Alaska to run the Jr. Iditarod, there is a good chance that we will stay to run the Jr. Yukon Quest as well.

The Pirates are now 3 years old, which means that they are in the beginning of their prime. This year we should be able to put in longer runs, and do them faster and more efficiently. I've already noticed that the dogs are MUCH stronger than they were last year. I look forward to seeing what kind of incredible performances we will put out this year! I hope you all will come along for the ride as well!
