Ashley Thaemert and I own and operate Lost Lake Racing. We are a kennel of 30 Alaskan huskies, and we enjoy competing in the races around the Midwest. My children, Annalee and Ellis, are also involved with mushing. They help us with the daily maintenance that goes along with operating a kennel, and they have both competed in the Beargrease Cub Run in the past. This year, Ashley will be running our younger dogs in the 40 mile race, and I will be running our more experienced dogs in the 120 mile race. Looking forward to a great season and a fun race!

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START RUNNING SLED DOGS AND HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU STARTED?
I was about 30 when I started with sled dogs. I moved to Minnesota from Idaho and heard about a bunch of dog mushers in the area. I thought that sounded like fun, so I got two sled dogs, did some bicycle running, and five years later I have a kennel of 20 dogs and run as much as possible.
