After three weeks of icy trails, this week the snow returned.
Since last weekend, we have been receiving a few centimetres of snow every day through the week. This has resulted in excellent trails after grooming.
Finally, we got in three days of running two teams per day. We have gone on to a new schedule of running one day, a day rest, running one day, a days rest, running one day and then two days off.
Using this method and running only 4.5 miles, we were able to check the capability of the dogs to handle speed runs.
Great news, all the 19 dogs handled the speeds without any problem.
The temperatures this last few weeks have been fairly warm and a welcome relief from the frigid temperatures experienced in January and February.
Alex has been getting some experience riding the sled and will soon be on her first run with a dog.
Until next week.......
