Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

My primary job today was to not make the frost bite that flares up on my face any worse!!!  It was about 8 degrees when we trained the 2 teams.  First we went out together on the snow machine to make sure I remembered how the addition 5 miles of the trail goes - it was good because it was slightly different than 2 years ago (last year there wasn't snow here so we only training once in the short field).  Both teams went good (trained all but Glory who is still favoring her leg - it seems to be a slight sprain because we let her run around the truck and she did fine) except for one part of the trail that you go up a pretty significant hill.........I was already at the top and going along and looked back and didn't see Randy and the team following - I waited and waited and tried (not too successfully to back up - have you tried backing a snowmobile up on a narrow trail??? ) and Randy had stopped the team at the bottom of the hill to rest them (hoping they would be gung ho running up the hill) and the young leaders Ice and Fred decided to come back and see him......so he had to untangle all of them and continued up the hill much later and  with me worried at the top of the hill unable to see them!



Today Thursday training again - we are going to wait till the heat wave hits this afternoon - a whopping 13 degrees!!!  will let you know how it goes!
