day 3 untill departure,....
yesterday we ran our last race at uitbergen before the EC,
Not my favorit trail at all !! Was hesitating to run the long distance but decided to go for short.
Didn't want to take any risks 4 days before departure,....
Didn't ran at 100 % on a hard trail with a lot of turns, long grass, mud and passing eachother in opposite direction.
Together we raced 8.50 min , 2.96 km good for 20.1 km/h,....
yukon gave me a lot of encouragement for the EC, HE is more than ready !!
Not only yukon is a great encouragement for the EC !
also my Thanks to my current 2 sponsors:
very Soon there will be a 3rd one,.... who it is? we will announce after and on the european championships in Cirencester ;)
Can already say we are very glad they have chosen us to represent their canicross-team in Europe !
Already thanks for the trust in me and Yukon!!

training Kart 2 dogs
Yesterday I had a great idea to go and train with 2 dogs at the same time,
so I took after almost one year the kart out of the garage.
I already knew this was almost going to be mission impossible with Iota =p
She is just one crazy dog at the start,...
My father and I prepared the dogs and wanted to put them in place,....
putting them in place means:
the result was not that bad, only yukon was distracted for a few seconds while passing a pedestrian and his dog.
We had to brake very hard, what a power and speed when pulling +/- 180 kg !
can't immagine mushers working with more than 6 dogs !!

putting them in place means:
- struggling for almost half an hour
- iota jumps 3 times out of her harness and collar at the same time
- yukon who begins to be irritated because of all the struggling
- Iota who doesn't want to stop screaming and always keeps twisting in every direction
- and last but not least me beginning to get very angry at her and therefore she finally starts listening and calms down.

15/09/2012:
To keep the tradition alive robin and family organised also this year a run and bike competition, +/- 7 km with a lot of hills.
Alot of teams signed up this year to compeet for "fun".
After the start was given team Philippe wery-Benoit Natalis started like crazy and Robin and me stayed with them for about 4 km (after those 4 km my legs were dead =p) .
We kept up a good speed and finished second after the super team benoit-philippe,
3rd place was for Marc Vandueren en Arnaud Leonard they ran a great race too !
Everything went well and we laughed a lot, we were soooo tired afterwards but it was worth it. ( before the bike and run we prepared the trails for the long and short distance, children, bike and run on foot)
16/09/2012:
we organised our own canicross at banneux, no doubt a super hard and technical trail with more than 150 m difference in height. (long and short distance)
In the morning some silly people enjoyed themselves a lot by changing the entire beginning of the trail, so we had a lot of work to make the trail perfect again.
For the rest everything went flawlessly !
Had some nice sponsors who gave away food for the dogs, umbrella's, coupons for going to the spa,....
Robin ran the long distance (6.5 km) with Iota, he ran a super great race ended up first with a time of 21.35 min ==> 18 km/ h !
He ran the short distance (2.8 km) as well with Kozak, with some little errors he still ended up second in a time of 10.34 min ==>15.5 km/h .
think for the first time in canicross history the short distance was tougher than the long distance.
I was very happy with my race with yukon,
After 3 months we finally find out what was wrong with him and changed dog food, apparently he did'nt digest well the previous brand,.... He wasn't quite the same dog anymore,... always tired,... cramps,....
but that's al in the past now !
So here we were running ( flying) the short distance, yukon pulling like crazy,.... downhill,.....
And yes,.... I did fell,.... and landed with my face on a huge rock,.... (auwtchhh)
And yes it did hurt ! =D nevertheless I got back on my feet and ran with a super the yukon a great but very hard race. Ended up first in 12.17 min ==> 13.7 km/h
Want to thank all the participants for being there !!

training, training, training,....
So here we are again,
We returned at home after a great TDM adventure.
Yukon learned a lot and I've had a good training ;)
2 times we ended up 3rd place; at Allemont and the other at Auris.
Robin ended up first with Iota ;)
I've had no time to take a breath and restarted training a few days after we arrived at home.
This week for the first time in my life cracked a new record of + 50 km running.
I will have a lot of work the next few weeks to keep up the good work,....
But no doubt ,we WILL be ready for the european championships !
This weekend we will compeet for the first time in the "long distance" category at Polleur.
Looking forward to it !
stay tuned,...

preparation for TDM
This weekend trained the last time for TDM,
had a very nice, sportive weekend, with a lot of friends.
Saturday morning did a training in banneux, 9 km with dogs free running, 10 km/h, 250m difference in height.
The last 500 m uphill attached yukon, and we ran a max speed of 25.5 km/h (uphill) !!
Sunday morning ran a race in Tessenderlo 4.23 km, we took second place female and ran 17.40min.
Not so easy on a sandy trail with lots of little hills and turns ;)
Too bad my legs were already a little tired from the day before!
Nevertheless had a great feeling running with my new shoes!
pictures and videos will be posted the following days ;)
