GREAT TRAINING IN WYOMING

We really enjoyed the week of training in western Wyoming. We spend few days in Lander and we got a good snow fall about 18 inch in town and 2 ft on top of the mountains, great training the snow was deep but I liked how my team reacted to the very deep snow and snowmachines ruts. I had Memphis and Pyramid in lead, many times I couldn’t see them but I just gave commands and the team was reacting like they were suppose too. After we went to Dubois and did 3 training runs there. One was up on Union pass, where you get a spectacular view. One was on the CD trail (Continental divide) and we went by the overlook of the divide, I couldn’t really stop with the dogs but the view was for sure great. This area of Dubois burned last summer so you can see on our gallery some image of the trails and the burned trees.

Thursday we went to Jackson and visited with Arman Cadol a friend that was born and raised in France. We had good time visiting him. Friday was the vet check and we decided the 16 dogs we will each run. Go on the link below to see our teams:

Jacques’s team

My team

After the vet check we went to the Chiropractor. His name is Dr Tiger and he is very good he works a lot with dogs and horses. He is amazing. After doing all the dogs he worked on my back and neck and he told me a in way worth shade than my dogs!!!! Remaining soreness from last winter (hard crash in the French Alps). My spoas muscle still isn’t hilled up and my neck/Skull are not staying aligned…. Anyhow he worked on my problems and it really helps.

At 7pm was the start of the ceremonial start, 3miles in town… Lots of people. I took 5 dog team lead by Memphis and Jenny.

Since this year there is lot of stage where we don’t go on a “loop” and since we have no handler our friend Mari Wood offered tp drive our truck during those stages. Her daughter will driver her truck (John is racing) and this is a GREAT RELIEF FOR US..

Today we are in Lander enjoying a day OFF before the race, getting truck cleaned up and sled ready. I enjoy Howard and ¨Princess and they just got 3 new calves so I went and checked them out and took some photos all theses are on the PHOTO GALLERY!!!

To check race results go to

I doubt I’ll have much time to write during the race!!!!

Bye for now
