Ceremonial Start (don't hold to the placement of dogs, there was a bit of confusion as we were hooking up and I don't remember who exactly went where and I'm a little doped up on cold medication this afternoon, as I seem to have gotten a cold yesterday.)
 | Snickers - Dasher |  |
 | Herman - Spider |  |
 | Batdog - Jinx |  |
 | Hector - Boom |  |
 | Watt - Charge |  |
 | Loki - Odie |  |
Other than the launch, when Snicks got caught in the middle of a pee (how embarrassing), the team did really, really well. They had a blast and we were standing on the drag brakes for much of the run.
