Fast out of the gate but I know it would not last, the snow still being super soft. Many little dimples bore witness of the dogs who had been out before us but it's safe to say that we were the first ones today. Initially, Mellie showed aggression towards Roux, wanting to be the lead dog. The old girl tired out quickly though and Roux started pulling her and me keeping my weight off the line. During the climb in the middle of the course, Roux started shenanigans, maybe payback for Mellies earlier moves? anyway, they got tangled and I had to undo it. I think Mellie was glad to be done today. On the other hand, Roux was ready for more.

Only one extra lap with Roux this morning, He started out by pulling very well but looked tired during the last two climbs. Very proud of the little guy, though! My left ski hit something grabby on the little steep section by the stadium and made me stumble. Maybe a piece of tree bark or a piece of garbage? Did not linger to investigate.
