Why long distance:
I need some new challenges after 20 years in sprint races. In my job I have been training long distance dogs (FL1000) for five years. I am working and living in North-Norway, and there are plenty of long distance mushers around me. So I started to be interested how I can manage a long distance race with my own dogs.

The strategy for the race:
Keep the dogs happy and healthy, and finish the race with all of them.

Special dogs in the team:
All of them are special, but the most special is my main leader Bel-Ami who will celebrate his 10th birthday on the race.
