Huge Congratulations to Joanna-- Winner of the Beargrease 120 Dogsled Race!!
Joanna won the Beargrease 120!! Hallelujah!!! Prayers answered. This has been on her bucket list for a long time and her dream finally came true. It has been her most difficult race and often fraught with one crazy disaster after another which also caused her to never finish with all 8 dogs. This year everything came together for her. This is her rendition of the race: First place at the 2023 Beargrease mid distance race! Wow, finally had a BG with no issues after all these years... The trail was super fast, it was super cold and the dogs were super amazing!!! Loved finally getting to experience that "magic carpet ride" with my team at this race!!! Also was deeply honored to be awarded the Best Cared for Team Award from the vets... this goes to my dad as much as me as does the win... couldn't do this without all his help and support that is for sure!!! Trail grooming, helping train the 16 dog team, feeding dogs for me when I am at work... he does it all!! Huge t
