Aliy Zirkle's kennel, Skunk's Place, will have three teams in the Copper Basin 300 this weekend. Allen will run the main team and is a three time champion of this very challenging race. See above for Aliy/Allen blog for updates on the race.
Aliy will run a team of young ones to give them race training/readiness for future Iditarod. Bridgett will run with our favorite Bullet in lead and a great team of veterans. Even with 3 wins, this race will be challenging for Allen, especially because this year they are running it backward. He comments that his sprint training/racing is a factor in his success in this complex and fast race.

Our 21st year! We have enjoyed sharing the sport of dog sledding with so many people over the years, and thank you! all, so much! We are in a paring down and retirement phase. Our kennel is selling a lot of good, used equipment. If you are looking for something , let us know. Listing coming soon. We are not selling dogs, they are retiring with us.

ReplyDeleteWill I see you in Nome? Before?
I just gave Bullet a nice pat for you... You know that a hug would be out of the question with her!
Thanks, Macgellan! Nome is a possibility!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pat for Bullet, shy sweetie that she is. BTW I have photos of Stella running in teams, she did it, she can! She did sing along the way, of course. She ran 8 mile runs.
