The last weeks has involved a lot of preparations for Troms Quest and Finnmarksløpet, and some light training trips. Troms Quest was a very good experience, from both views, the musher and the organizer. This year Aslak was race marshal and I got the chance to race, much more relaxing than last year as race marshal...

I got a few answers that was god to get now instead of on Finnmarksløpet. Momba and Elvira that went out of Aslak team on Femund with injuries seems  to have got the injuries back, and is not ready to race. I might  borrow dogs from Mats Petterson in Kiruna instead. Except the injuries It was a good race, dogs kept a good speed and was happy all the time. First leg was done with Momba riding in the sled most of the time, so it slowed me a little bit and stopped me from getting a good rhythm. Round two felt very good and the team started to feel strong. In the end we came as nr 5 of 6, but what was most important for me was that i felt happy with the team. Now it is time for last packing of food drops for Finnmark and preparations for the trips coming up right after Finnmarksløpet.
