Watch Laura chase Jon! Find out what's puzzling Darryl! Untangle the teams! Hear the Bandit break away! Catch Jessie's shoulder check! Any more crazy fast mushers back there? Only Crystal and Gunter, nose to tail!
That's 2010 league champ Tony Radford shouting, over all the banging, "Sled's gonna break I think!"
The snow might have been minus 5, but the air felt like 20 above and the combination made for some of the fastest times of the season. Among the 15 teams entered for the season finale was Jeff Diment with Granpa Campbell's dogs.
Fabian Schmitz represented Team Schweiz. At the bottom of the long hill, coach and trail volunteer Crispin Studer yelled "Run, run!" and "No! Keep running!" when Fabian jumped on the runners too soon.
Maren Bradley took her puppy team out for a training run.
Go puppies!
Kid's 5 K:Congratulations to former kid's league champs and current Arctic Winter Games champions Rachel and Ben Kinvig. Way to show 'em how it's done!
Following in your footsteps is Erin Spicer, left, readying her team.
Erin won $125 purse and top honours in the 2010 kids' league. Kids interested in a share of the prize can come out next year and get your folks to volunteer for one meet.
