Pippa and I did our first Canicross event a few weekends back, it was part of a 2 day come-and-try hosted by the SDRQ (Sled Dog Racing Queensland) who were very welcoming and helpful in answering questions and loaning gear.

We signed up for the 5km but changed to the 10km, conditions were wet and muddy which is normal for the time of year. We placed 2nd male and 2nd overall. I’m an experienced trail runner and the pace was quicker than my fastest solo run but my legs were hurting in new and unusual ways for a few days after due to the difference in running style.

Thanks to all competitors and volunteers for the warm welcome, we’ll be back!
