I cann’t believe it but Sebastian is really not participating in the Knik 200 and that even as he is there because Mark is running the race and arrived Skwentna in 26th position.
I just came back from a nice, two day run to McLaren with my Questteam.
Sab will start this weekend at the Kuskokwim 300.
Today Sab sorted the dogs out, after Dave and Andrew left, the teams had to reordered. In all we have now 4 complet teams in training. Then we redistributed the doghouses teamwise.
After noon I got off, in the sunshine by -20°C, for a 34 miles trainingsrun (55 km) with the following team: Skunk - Kritter, Ibex - Onyx, Kali - Lucky, Jack - Franky, Bertha - Ricky, Kiana - Susie, Elliot - Jasper und Nani. The run was almost unspectacular, expect at Mile 3 we saw a moose with her little only about 100 m beside the trail behind the willows.
The moto of today was cleaning. The four sleds needed to be emptied and all the material needed to be ranged again, there was also some “feed maintance” for the dogs on the programm, that means cutting nails and the hairs between the toes.
I also managed to finish the Racereport GinGin 200.
At 10 o’clock Gatean left with the dogs that didn’t run the race for a 90 mile trainingsrun (145 km).
Yesterday Sebastian started with a GIANT CARGO in direction Alaska to set up the camp at Paxson.
Rudi must be in Anchorage the 1 december for the Iditarod Rookie Meeting.
My big race is also approaching slowly but surley. Last week I got a big letter from the Yukon Quest with a lot of race informations and some forms to fill out - so I ordered yesterday my straw for the checkpoints.
