Splashing Good Times - YUKON MEAT & SAUSAGE - The Deli Watersports Outing!

What better to do in the sun at +30'C than take a dog or two and go running through lots of water - exercise and fun (amazing that those two words are found in the same sentance!)

15 teams "competed" - well it appears Darryl competed, everyone else had a laugh, Grizzly was heard to comment later - "How come everyone else had so much fun ? all I heard was "Go GO!, NOOOO! don't stop, you can drink later, go, faster, GO!" I want a transfer, my paws are still smokin!"

Photos from Clark Rogers - thank you (erm results will come later - well ok , Darryl won the one and two sled dog (again...boring, and well done), Carine Grenier reprised her victory in the pet dog, and proof that guiding gets you fit, Kyla Johnson beat professional runner Sandro Bumblebee (is that really his name?) in the caniwade, in fact Sandro only just managed to stay ahead of hard-driving 7 year old Maible Boksa)

Canicross at its best

Kyla Johnson takes an early bath

Uh-oh, Big Pet dog starts to tip Maren Bradley in for the third time...revenge for the July Race comment of "ah, she doesn't run"

Just...Fun

Robert Sifke and Decaf (Smokin' Paws) enjoy the trail

Janet Keller and what looks like a small Polar Bear, driving for the next creek

Smokin' Paws 1 & 2 take Deb Knight just before her intimate impact with the local rocks

Ian Usher, with knee and elbow armour...hooray..."sense in action"! now If Deb Knight had that her crash wouldn't have left all those scabs...

"Jeez Darryl, it's not the Percy you know? and I'd like to have stopped with the other guys in that last pond, that Siberian had some good points on the failure of the Russian wheat crop because of global WARMING!"..."It's a RACE Grizzly! GO! GO!"

Grizzly, winner of this week's longest tongue competition

Maible Boksa makes a break past her Mum Moe - or just having fun in the water with dogs

Taking time in the Caniwade with man's best friend...what better way to spend a hot evening, does it get any better?
