Temperatures this past weekend were very warm and made it difficult to run dogs in the day time. Saturday we decided not to go out for a long run in the hot sun, but instead to head out to Two Rivers for the Valley Funale. We entered 2 teams in the 6 dog/ 10 mile race. The short distance is very doable without them overheating… of course we had no hope or chance of winning a sprint race like this, so we had a good time taking our time and doing some amazingly clean head on passes with all the teams.. Great race training for next year! The race was followed by a potluck grill out and kids 2 dog race that was very entertaining. Thanks to Two Rivers Mushers for putting on so many fun events that help get people started in this great sport.
