This morning's skijor at Roberts Farm in Norway, Maine was so much fun! We saw great friends and dogs, some that we haven't seen since last year's races.
We were planning on going to watch Nate, so I was surprised yesterday when Ed asked me to sign him up. He hasn't skied in years, but he figured he could get safely around the course with quiet li'l Buffy. She took one look at the crowd though, and was like, “No way. Not happening.” So, against his better judgment, Ike helped him hook up to George, who loves nothing better than to race. He may not know much, but he knows that if you're led to the line and someone gives you a countdown, “5…4…3…2…1!” - then you run like HELL!! If there's something hooked behind you, then you pull it along with you!
And that's how Ed found himself in 3rd place, just ahead of Maggie & Pilot. Woohoo!! Congrats to Jay & Cruz on their win, and Nate & Bruiser(his first time skijoring!) for coming in 2nd place. Team Nooksack Racing podium!
All of the teams did awesome, and we’re already looking forward to the next event! Thank you to Lee and all the volunteers. The trails are in amazing condition!
Once the crowd had thinned, Lady & Nate led Buffy & Ed out on the trail so she could have a good learning experience.
