Love the look Luchini is giving spongebob in this picture. We had one problem with a light pole,
but otherwise was a good run. 5:11 time. 3rd woman overall - would have been different if we had a clean run but I'm still
happy with the time. Early season practice is important. Full article:

Ellsworth, ME First overall woman, second overall finisher. First mile in 5:23 - was hoping to have Spongebob keep
me going at that pace but had to leave him at home. Finish time was 20:20. Never ran this new course before so
was happy with the finish placing.

1st Place - 4-Dog Pro
This was one of the most fun courses we've ever run. Flat, lots of turns, and sandy terrain. Course was 3.1
miles. Time day one was 9:45.50. Time day 2 was 9:06.73. This team consisted of a trio of siblings powered
by my 82 lb dream dog Spongebob Squarepants, ,and led by his sisters Pearl and Miss Puff (from my Junior x Laredo breeding)
and Hadley (Rummy xPiper). Hadley has matured and is ready to handle the intensity of 4-dog speed.
Combined time for both days was 18:52.23. Day one's average speed was 19.06 mph. Day two's average speed was 20.4
mph.

Fair Hill Challenge

1st Place 4-Dog Pro
Hilly in sections, with some challenging obstacles,and very steep desending hills followed by sharp turns. There
were also rolling fiiellds. On day one our time was first in the 4-Dog Pro after day one with a time of 9:52.20. Johnn
in 2nd with 9:55.25, Ed Clifford in 3rd with 11:14.42. Our pace Sat averaged 21.28 mph.
On day two there was a problem hearing the timer countdown, so me and my handling crew were very surprised to get to
the lines and be told "You're time allready started". In all we lost 22 seconds because of the problem. Fortunately
it didn't adversely affect us as, we made up the tine and then some to secure the win. Our actual "running time" averaged
out at 22.26 mph.

4th - 4-Dog Pro. Very technical, fun course where having a Danler that can carve tight turns without
sliding sideways shaves time and gives the driver a good advantage (should have mine in another week or 2).
On day one Pearl was so amped she pulled out of her harness 5 secdonds before I was to start and lost valuable time.
On day 2 Spongebob snapped his cable dropline fighting to get to the gangline. Didn't dump the sled at all,
and had a much faster run on Day 2. I'm very pleased with this young team so far.
Day one 16:08 Day 2:
