Egil's team ready to go second day of the Exxon Mobil Open, leaders Casper and Email.

Exxon Open is in the bag! This weekend ended with Egil’s 6th Exxon Open victory. I managed to climb up to a respectable third place in the 8-dog class. But most important we got a great shake down for the upcoming Rondy race in three weeks. Trail conditions for the Exxon race were though both days and the team had to really come together to keep the speed up. Heavy snowfall had made the trail soft and punchy in combination with warm temperatures.
Casper and Ruby ran lead for Egil the first day and second day we tried Casper and Email. All three boys did an awesome job. Impressive to see big males run up front.
In my 8-dog team I ran Linda and Brownie first day and tried Clover, a sister to Casper, in lead with Linda on Sunday. Clover has a lot of power in her little body and she loved to run up front. Not scared for tunnels and bridges and that’s always nice to see.
Exxon Open was our first major race on the new and greatly improved Momentum dog food. We have feed this new formula for one month now and we are truly amazed over the results. Go to http://www.drtims.com for more information. Stay tuned about this as the season goes on.
The race team will get a few days off to fully recover and will give us time for snow shoveling and puppy training. Mush needed since it has been snowing all weekend while we were gone racing.
Tonight we will enjoy a spinach soup and a crisp sourdough baguette. Bon appetite
