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.

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.
