2017 IFSS World Championships Relay Race, first leg 1 dog skijor

This is the relay race at the IFSS World Championships in Haliburton, Ontario Canada. The best action is at about the 7 minute mark we start to establish ourselves going into the tight and winding trails in the woods. There's a lot of tight action and passing going as we are all trying to be the first ones out of the woods to the finish for the handoff to the two-dog teams.
The relay consisted of 3 legs of 7k(roughly 4 miles). The mass start first leg was 1 dog skijor, then 2 dog skijor, and finally 4 dog sled. We, Team USA finished in 4th place, 7 seconds off the podium. I could've had a better transition as there was a bit of confusion with who I was supposed to be handing my dog off to. I was basically 2nd into the transition, but we were probably 5th out due to the hesitation on my part. This is the first skijor relay race I've done not to mention Gunness's first skijor race ever. There is a lot to learn and everything is a learning experience for that next race.
