My Teammates are Famous

I heard a few Alaskans have named their pets or children after our local skiing superstars. Yesterday, I met the canine Taz-- but she was not as fast as her human namesake. The APU ladies and I were running around University Lake when we came upon a woman walking her dogs. One dog was sniffing a spot in the the trail so the woman sternly said "Taz Go! C'mon Taz!" The other dog's name is Kikkan. We passed "Taz and Kikkan" with a chuckle and I gave Taz pat on the back and assured her that she didn't need to run any faster.
