We had some guests today and we ran some nice training runs. The trails were fast, but sides still soft/ deep if the sled veered off. We opted to stay on internal trails to save dog feet and to avoid the risk of leaping the hardened snow banks near the highway. We're hoping for more snow, but the trail base is excellent. We geared our day to working on skills, hills, curves, speed, gear, etc.
Total dogs run was ten, six teams. Skinny ran lead in one team; Lillen ran lead in one team; Buffy and Ruthie both had multiple times in lead and Sherpa led once. Buddy was once again THRILLED to be chosen to run on TWO teams and he pulled his weight in wheel with great spirit.
Tomorrow we plan to run some dogs who need more time/running. It's pretty easy to pick the best runners, again and again... some of the others need practice.
