There came an idea. It´s time for challenge and big deeds.

I decided that next year I´ll finally take a part in real big dog-sledding competition. This kind of competition only takes place in Alaska or in Scandinavia. Alaska is to fahr away, so the next place left is Scandinavia. I have been watching the competitors racing at 500km and 1000km trails in the Norweigan competition Finnmarkslopet ( www.finnmarkslopet.no) . on internet for many years and this year I got an idea. Why aren´t I taking a part in it? It can´t be that unreachable!!

So I´ve decided that I´d like to start at 500km trail in Norweigan Alta on 10th March 2008. My goal will be to finish the race. To win it – it will have to be some other time. :-)

The team ready to start

At this moment it means to start preparing everything: veterinary blood tests for the entry to Norway, some sponsors, equipment and all neccessary material and mainly to train the dogs and myself for the competition. I´m afraid it´ll be really a drudgery.

I´m sure I can´t win in Norway but it´s a nice feeling to have and live for such a target. Then I´ll know that I´m doing something meaningful. So for the end I remembered an inspired and heartful saying:

„The reason of the journey is not its end but the journey itself“

Or something like that…
