Duffy's Pets & Tanzilla Harness Supply Race Day -Results!

At 0'C in the sun the trail held up well and 16 sled and skijor teams made it round twists, turns, ups, and downs on way or the other - remember: follow the orange tape, and where there isn't any, don't turn off.

Talking of ups and downs, Dave Mondor captured Jon's "this is a bit steep" technique on the final, mogulled downhill - don't slow down at all, just sit on your skis and charge it. Ark has her eyes closed - "it was just so steep" she said afterwards, "I heard the monkey shout "It's ok, Go! Go! GO!" as we started on the downhill and I closed my eyes and went for it!"

Debbie Last won the best fancy dressed sled and musher award and took home 10 blocks of Icy Waters Ltd's Arctic charr dogfood as her prize. (photo Dave Mondor)
