It won’t help if I have to drop my main leader. That will make it tougher.

They were going about 13 to 14 miles an hour, so it was really hard to catch them. I crowded them on the side of the trail and they recognized me and I said ‘Whoa’...

It was real soft and punchy. The dogs go slower and you get a few more injuries because they start falling in holes.

No one knows whose strategy is working best.

Their job is to go straight down the trail and that’s exactly what they did, just as fast as they could.

I don’t imagine I would be disqualified, but there can be time or monetary penalties.

I’ll be glad when we’re down across the mountain range. That’s usually the toughest part.
