yesterday was the first of three days of the GCI Open North American Championship Sled Dog Race. the race started on 2nd ave downtown- right below my new office. i got to work yesterday morning to find that the race organizers had brought in about a foot of snow for ten or so blocks of 2nd ave.

i was able to get downstairs for most of the start to photogaph the dogs. the whole scene was insane. all these dogs want to do is run- to work. they jump and howl, scream and fight to get off the line, and once the driver pulls the break they lurch out of the start with incredible speed. the whole experience was quite a site...






i thought these two dogs were going to have heart attacks before they even got started.


the view from my office.
