AURONZO DI CADORE PALUS SAN MARCO 14 – 02 – 2015 FISTC

Sprint Championships 2nd Day

To day is Valentine´s day, but the nicest gift to all pure breed sled dogs lovers has been this second heat. Contrary to the weather forecasts, this second day was sunny, no snow, but higher temperatures, just close to zero, made the trail heavier and a little bit slower. However, all mushers and dogs enjoyed it and were happy. In SJ2 1dog class, Sepp Brugger (A) increased his advance on the second that now is the French lady Anne Miclo with a Malamute. In SJ 2 dogs, Marcel Matanin (SK) is also increasing his advance on the second that now is Matjas Ovsenek (Slo). The French Nathalie Roland is first in SJ 2 dogs women and now in SJ 1 dog men Michal Ivanco (SK) is first 2 seconds before Roman Reistetter (SK). In O class, the French Jean Combazard is ncreasing the gap with the second, Claudio De Ferrari. No changes in A1 class, still leaded by Karl Rachbauer (A) nor in A2 class where Horst Klank and his 8 flying Samoyeds are really fast. Italian musher Luca Castellette is first in B1 as is Berndt Sauerhöfer in B2. Brigitte Wahlhütter is still leading the C1 class, where the first three are in less than 1 minute. Marceau Rieumal (F) is confortably leading the C2 class. Young junior Valentina Durio (I) is first in D1 and Bernd Kirstein leads the D2 class. Tomorrow with a cooler weather and a faster trail, many positions may change and the race remains open and extremely exciting. Tonight we willl enjoy the excellent musher dinner offered by organisers to all participants. Tomorrow the final results.
