Plus qu’une petite semaine avant la course de Fort-Kent, nos 2 équipes devraient être en piste dans le 250 milles. Tout les chiens de l’équipe A devraient être remis de leurs mauvaise expérience dans notre nouvelle boite à chien en route vers le Up 200. Après réflexion et discussion entre Denis Julie et Sylvain, ils nous appariaient que certains chiens auraient surchauffés durant le voyage, la température anormalement chaude et un manque de ventilation a faite en sorte que nos leader Frisby, Shakira et quelques autres chien comme Toby ont souffert de déshydratation, d’où le sentiment de fatigue des chiens observé à l’entré à Grand Marais. Malgré tout nos chiens nous auront démontrés tout leurs potentiel avec de très bonne vitesse de croisière mais arrêter aux 30 minutes pour« snacker » ne concorde pas avec notre définition d’aller au course la décision fut donc prise de ne pas continuer l’épreuve.
One more week before Fort-Kent race where we should have both team on the trail for the 250 miles event. All A team dogs should have recover from there bad experience into our new dog box on the road to the Up 200 last week. After reflexion and discussion between Denis Julie and Sylvain we strongly taught that some of the dogs have over eated during the ride. Abnormal high temperature and a lack of ventilation have brought the dogs to dehydrate, that explain the fatigue that we have seen on our way in Grand Marais. Even whit that our dogs have demonstrate there high potential whit very good speed on the track but stopping every ½ hrs to snack the dog is not our definition of“being in the race” so decision have been taken to not continue on this event.
