YUKON QUEST SLED DOG RACE - IDITAROD TRAIL SLED DOG RACE

25-11-11
Hi everyone. with regret we have taken the decision to hold off for a year on our plans to race in the worlds toughest sled dog races. We had a prospective sponsor we were working with let us down last month and are awaiting a decision from an new one, but alas all to late for this season. We had planned to leave in mid september, but after sebastians retirement from the sport and our then arranging to run with Gerry Willomitzer, we didnt have the finances ready and by mid november had missed out on some crucial training that left me deciding that the responsible and sensible choice was to hold off till next season to allow us to arrange a new sponsor and to make sure we got out for the start of the seasons training. The dogs are already quite advanced in their training and we would have had to land with our feet on the runners into the 100 mile back to back runs. For the dogs welfare and to make usre we give it our best effort and to ensure we do oursleves and everyone else proud, it was the only logical choice. I also didnt want to keep Gerry and his team waiting any longer for us to get the sponsorship sorted and get out to him. But fear not, i'm not beaten and although very disapointed am already working towards next seaspn, I WILL GET TO NOME! best wishes to all for now, please hang with us, matt
