Getting out of the gate was the biggest challenge on this 6.3 mile run. Buffy hesitated on the 'haw', altho Ruthie was ready. All summer they know the gate is closed and we don't go that way. Once on the railroad grade/trail they were very eager to run. It was cool and windy (29 degrees). We ran into two dead deer carcasses, one in mid trail, but "pick it up" and they ran right past like pro's... good dogs. On the second run I brought a shovel and moved the carcass off the trail.
Two teams: Buffy, Ruthie, Kiddo, Medio and Quattro; LilleR, Buffy, Kiddo, Medio, Sherpa and
Herman. Kiddo, Medio and Buffy had 12.6 miles, all others, 6.3 miles. It was 29 degrees, sunny but windy/cool. Liller (age 11) set a great pace and showed no signs of tiring. I kept them at mostly 9mph, some 10/11, and near the deer, 13mph.
These were all of the same family(siblings and Mom, and granddaughter) and have sprint and distance lines combined.
