Warm weather

It has been warm here. It feels like it should be March not Jan. The weather got well below freezing at night. This made the trail very hard for training today. Florian ran a eight dog team today again. Today we tried to run them faster coming home. I told Florian to hold them back until the turn around coming home. He did and it made a difference in his team's performance on the way home. Florian is running an older leader that did really well today even with the speed of the team. I was impressed with the old guy.
The trail is the best it has ever been. We have some overlapping activities this weekend so we all have to figure out the best schedule for training. Rachel needs to start training some new dogs that we got while in Ft.Nelson. They all look good but not too sure how they will run. We will find out soon. Everyone is going skiing in the morning and training dogs in early afternoon. I hope that this happens both Sat. and Sun. We will know after we talk to Ben and Rachel and see what works best.
