First 1000 km on sled is done

This weekend I did the two first longer runs for this season – 2 x 102 km and today I passed the “1000 km pole” on sled this season.
Well, that is for the main team, I have of course done some runs on sled with other teams aswell… In total I am still little behind last years total distance at this time, but within a week I have catched up last years distance, not that it is so important, but anyhow.
I still run with huge, heavy sled with steel as runner “plastic”, two big truck wheels and a big wooden box on the sled. Today I almost comitted unwanted harakiri…I am training my arms using ski pole and after an “intervall” uphill with skipole I put it on top of the box without fixing the pole…not so smart: the pole jumped down, one end stucked to the trail, the other end speared my stomach. Lots of clothes saved me but the pole now have shape of C…and yes, it still hurts…/Taisto
