Snowflake 09-contributed by Ken~

Robb & I had a fantastic finish for our racing season. We both ran the 4-Dog Pro at Snowflake International in Duluth, MN. A lot of people came out just to see Robb and the JDT. There is so much support and interest everywhere we go. We had fun as this is one of our favorite trails. It is a tough, curvy and hilly 6K that is a blast to run a team on. Robb had good clean runs on both Saturday and Sunday finishing 6th out of 25 in a very competitive field. I finished 5th, just beating Robb but my older leader has done this race 7 times. She knows the trail quite well. It is exciting to me to now watch Robb as he drives his team like a professional. We also had a mushers party Saturday night at our house for all that attended Snowflake. It was a great way to send Robb back to JA. He is so well thought of up here by all the mushers that he competes with. Robb did an awesome job on and off the trail again this season. It is with pride and pleasure to be Robb's coach and affiliated with the Jamaica Dogsled Team. Thank You. Ken -- Ken Davis
