Between the Yukon quest and the Iditarod, it’s good to remember some good memories from Ed and Michelle exploits! So this is some picture taken during the Yukon Quest 1 000 miles for Ed and 300 miles for Michelle.

Before the race, we enjoyed a nice evening for the drawing banquet in Whitehorse!

 

Everybody getting ready for the start of Ed’s team!

      

 

On the start line… Tess and Molly leading

  

 

And then getting ready for Michelle start! Gunner and Wiley leading.

And then Pelly, the last checkpoint for the 300 miles race

Some rest for Michelle’s team before the final battle with Aliy Zirkle

                                                                       

Michelle finished first for 8 secondes in front of Aliy Zirkle team!

 

Some rest for Ed’s team but there is still a long way to go!

                     

Ed crossing the Dawson line and waiting for some rest!

                                                      

Nanook and Titan in Mile 101

 

Ed, Michelle, and their handler Marie will all be competing in today’s River Runner 120 Mile Sled Dog Race. Of the 15 teams competing, Michelle will go out of the starting chute first. Ed will be 4th, Marie will be 5th. Here’s what Michelle had to say, “Since the Yukon Quest we have been running both teams to make the final cut of 16 for the Iditarod. This weekend we will be competing in the River Runner with 3 teams and after this race I will pick my final 17 (1 extra just in case). I will just take it easy in this race and stand on my brake but feel it will be a good opportunity to get the team dialed in by taking them in a race.”
