The winter has arrived for real with heavy snowing in many days. Not the best speed training for the dogs, but good for the dogs to practice trail braking... We where in Tromsø this weekend for a small race, but due to heavy snow fall the race ended up more like a social event than a serious competition. Anyway the dogs where performing well and we ended up at first place in the open class. Rapport from the race will be at the site of Tromsø Sled dog club web site http://www.ken-g.nu/tthk/ To night and the coming 24 hours the plan is to to a long training run with the dogs preparing them for the challenges they will meet at the race. I will do a 6 hours on and 6 hours off training run for about 30 hours with resting on the trail. Depending on snow conditions and speed I hope to cower about 180 km. Coming back with rapport...

New year and a new life situation. 3 January Tuva arrived as a new member in our small family... We are looking forward to a lot of exciting adventures together in the future. As a real norwegian she was delivered with skies.
This has made the training a bit more home based the last two weeks, but Aslak (brother and second part of the Undervegs racing team) has helped out with the training. He raced the five young dogs and Brutus in Kiruna last weekend and they did a good job. His blog from training and adventures is at http://askeladdturer.blogspot.com/
