Training ME - Coopers test..

Today I did the "short-test" on my self: 2500 meters on 12 minutes, I was faster this summer, but now I know what I have to go for.. Would like to get back upon the 2700 meters..
And I WILL get there.
Tomorrow I'll take the dogs out again on a longer trip..




October was unusually warm and moisty. But I’m glad, that everything is not yet covered in snow. I still have a lot of things left undone, since I had my operation in my shoulder. Last year I had a TOTAL luxation and they ”missed” the fact, that the cartilage was ruptured, so the arm did not really attached the joint properly for more than a year! Amazing what You CANNOT see on MR-scans! (I had exrays + TWO scans!)


Alex has made me a ”snowgrooming-device” so we will have nice tracks to train on. I need that, because I have a vision on getting better on skating-skies!




Due to different circumstances, we do not train all our dogs. O’Nelly and Blackout are only 7 month, Ajax is 12, Madsen is on Levaxin and Phenobarbitol and Dizzy is only doing a good job, when she is NOT running on snow. She was spooked like hell once in a team of 4 dogs, but I use her as a great running-partner.
 Grizly was hit by a train going 70 km/h but survived. He still has some pains, which is understandeble. Left are Anna, Silver and Imelda. But in a month the two youngsters will be introduced to pulling a dogsled too.



So far this is what we have accieved in October + 1 1/2 week of September:

Imelda: 148,4 km
Silver: 148,3 km
Anna: 139,9 km
Nelly: 3,5 km
Blackie: 7,5 km
Dizzy : 22,2 km
Grizly : 15 km
Madsen: 14,5 km
Ajax: 12 km
Kirsten Poulsen: 115,2km
