Hmm...sadly the only most challenging thing I have ever done is win a video game. But it would be cool to do somthing like that and win.

Staying calm when I first snorkled. It's hard to stay calm because you're really scared of the big fish.

[Hayley`s family]

Once in the middle of the winter, our furnace broke down and it stayed like that for 1 week!That was the most challenging thing for my family.

The most challenging thing I ever done is try not to be scared of dogs and because of that is they save our life and if you are drowung they could do the dogie paddle and save you.

I really enjoyed this article because I am winter girl. The cold weather and me are like two peas in a pod. I'm very proud of Lance. That must have been a long trip. I hope the rest of the dogs are okay. Good luck Lance and remember, it doesn't matter if you win or loose it's how you play the game.

The thing I have learned was how to hit a softball when I was five years old .That is the thing I have learned with my dad.

One challenge thing that I did before was entering my German Shepard, Baltor, in a dog contest. Every single year I enter Baltor in the dog contesr. I lost every single year. But I never stop trying. But last year I had won the contest. I had tried my hardest to win. I spent time with Baltor teaching him tricks. I did my best and Baltor did his best. So what I'm saying is that if you lose at something, just keep trying until you scueed. :)

The most challeging thing I have done is to try to get on a tier swing when there is a padal ander it.

[Nick]

I don,t know what was the hardest thing I ever did. Probaly learning how to pitch. Getting accurcy.

[Susan]

This is so cool. I think it would be fun to try dog sledding, and all the dogs are so cute. The most challenging thing I have ever done is to take care of ten kittens. It was really hard to keep track of them all, but it was fun to play with them. We got to keep one of the kittens. Her name is Buttercup and she is so cute. All of the kittens were so cute too.

I did not know that you must have 16 dogs to race in the national Iditarod snow sled race. I did not know you can win $69,000 in cash and a truck. How old do you have to be to race in it? How many years in a row can you race in the national Iditarod snow sled race?

[alexxus]

i need more news.

[Anna]

I think it is so cool that he won the race with a team of dogs pulling his sled!! It just proves that when you work together you gan accomplish anything. I also think that the musher should go for it all and win the fourth race!!!!

[amber]
