Dec 2009 - Tanaløpet 25km No race, due to lack of snow.
Jan 2010 - Jarfjordløpet 72km 6th place of 10. Time: 4h 38 (avg speed 15,5 km/h) The team was in a strong 3rd place until a storm blew up on the mountain section. As I was one of the few not to have packed the sled bag down , it acted like a sail, blowing the sled off the trail several times. Eventually, the dogs got fed up with me making a mess of things and lay down to shelter from the wind. A change of lead dogs, time to sort out the lines, and we were on course again, but we had lost our placing in the field. Nevertheless, a good test of speed from the dogs.
Feb 2010 - Bergebyløpet 2 x 50km with 5 hours rest in the field 8th place of 11. Overall time: 7h 21 (3h 25, 3h 55)
Mar 2010 - Finnmarksløpet 500km 40th place of 48 finishers (although 69 started the race). Overall time: 3d, 1h, 9m (about 11 hours faster than in 2009). All 8 dogs to the finish - Susi, Milla, Pirjo, Katie, Ruusa, Logan, Riku, Seppo.
