Cross-cut Saw Competition at the Willow Carnival

My friend Sarah and I took time out of running dogs to compete in the woman's cross-cut saw competition at the Willow Carnival. We had a lot of fun and took home the GOLD!

Don Bowers Sled Dog Race . . . 110 Miles Later

Me 20 hours into my 24 hour race . . .

Sleeping with the team (Bee & Pepe')

Early morning run on the day I completed the race 1/29/11 - 12:10pm

Completed the 110 miles of the Don Bowers Race. Had a great time - my feet are a bit sore, but besides that I feel great. The dogs came back with no injuries and happy. I am so glad that the race was a success for us all! I am beginning to narrow down my team that I will take on Iditarod.

Next task at hand is to keep training dogs and getting drop bags ready to deliver to Iditarod on the 17th. The drop bags are the bags that have everything that we will need out on the trail.

Finish Line!!!

Angie and her team crossed the finish line at 12:13 PM!! WAY TO GO, TEAM TAGGART!! We're so proud of you and the dogs!

Almost There!!!

Angie just called to let us know that she's almost to the finish line!! GO, TEAM, GO!!!

Heading for the Finish Line!!!

Angie and her team left Morgan Cabin at 3:51 AM with 13 dogs. She arrived at (and left) Nowhere at 8:49 AM and is now on the homeward stretch (24 miles from Nowhere to the finish line in Eaglequest). GO, ANGIE & DOGS, GO!!!!

Time for a Rest . . .

Angie and her 14 dogs arrived at Morgan Cabin at 9:20 PM on Friday and are now taking their mandatory 6-hour layover. Hopefully, they're all having a good rest before they're on their way again. If you'd like to follow the progress of the race, check out http://www.donbowersmemorialrace.org/
YOU AND THE DOGS ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, ANGIE!!
