Dog Sled Racing
Justin at the start of his four-dog sled race in Meredith, New Hampshire. The video of Justin’s finish is also online.
Snow started falling early Friday and continued through Saturday morning. It’s the heavy, wet snow you get when the air is still warm. The frost isn’t deep and there are still-soft patches of ground here and there, so the snow is melting in parts, but it’s snow nonetheless. It’s snow enough that Justin might be able to run the dogs on the sled, rather than on his bike as he does through the Fall. These photos are from February or March 2002, but I’ve been waiting for snow before posting them here.

[...] The folks at WMUR’s Chronicle are featuring my friends Joe and Wendy and their dog sledding tonight. The photos above are of Justin in a race a few years ago (video of the finish also online). Warren hasn’t been so proud since we put the rocket up. [...]
[...] Engadget has a link to Mark Schutte’s dog powered scooter. This catches my eye because my friend Joe is always looking for ways to exercise his sled dogs in the summer. The developer, of course, is very serious about its befits and usefulness of this contraption. Here’s the sales pitch: Focus your dogs energy and enjoy the new sport of Urban Dog Mushing. Engadget has some complaints, but this looks like the best solution I’ve seen yet for running sled dogs in the summer. [...]
