| Feb. 16th-17th 2008 Stratford Night Hawks Race |
| The team was Kaleeta (L), Aryan (L), Kody, Demon, Blazer, and Ryder. We ran the 6 dog class 15 miles. Kody had a sore shoulder still when we raced on Saturday so we went easy on him, but had to drop him from the race on Sunday. Saturday we came in 8th place out of 17 teams. Not bad for our first race! Sunday was a little more diffcult than Saturday. Demon ended up with a sore hind leg so he had to get bagged two miles out, so we only had 4 dogs hauling Demon and I. We didn't make good time on that day. So overall time with both days we came in 10th out of 17. Sunday not only having Demon in the bag, Aryan didn't want to lead, and guess what... my two back up leaders were Kody and Demon, so Kaleeta had to bring us in by herself. It was her first time running solo lead! She did awesome! Very impressed! Made SDO time which is Sled Dog Outstanding! Aryan, Kaleeta, Demon, Ryder and Blazer all got 30 miles towards their Sled Dog Titles! Wahoo! Kody would have made it but where I had to drop him on Sunday, he doesn't get it. |

| March 1st 2008 Can Am 30 |
The team was Kody, Kaleeta in lead, than Aryan and Kiowa in swing, and than
Ryder and Blazer in wheel. The trail was really challenging, a lot of huge hills to
climb! Plus it was snowing, we ended up with a total of 13 inches, luckily we were
done racing before we got that much snow! We came in 22nd out of 30 teams
with a time of 4 hours 51 mintues and 43 seconds. Not bad for our first time racing
at this race. I was very impressed with my dogs and how well they did at take off.
It was a very big crowd of people on each side of the starting chute and the dogs
did great going out and coming in! This was a very hard trail for them.
