Training and Racing: Tuesday 27 February - Sunday 4 March 2007 Tuesday 27 February - 6:30pm Nottingham Tennis Centre, University Boulevard. We will be doing the 10 mile Wollaton Route (including the dog leg to the QMC) with a return to the 4 * 1 mile efforts (as a nice change) by popular demand.

With temperatures expected to go down to - 61 tomorrow and "warmer" temperatures only arriving by Sunday it was decided to stop the race. We also took into consideration the progress Tom, Pearse, Klaus and Joachim have made in the last 24 hours. They managed to do roughly 17 miles in that period of time. Before making the decision I talked to trail expert and Canadian Ranger John Mitchell and local pilot Dan Reynolds. For John Mitchell the glaciers on the trail were the main problem for evacuations north of Scroggie. That and the considerable elevation. Dan told me that in these kind of temperatures small planes only take off in life or death situations. We knew this before but I wanted it confirmed. So, considering all input and circumstances I would say it was the right decision. This makes Andy Heading from England the winner of a race course that now measured 337 miles. It is very likely that Andy would have made it to the finish line in Dawson City in one piece and in ti...

From the race report: Tonight temperatures will drop down to a YAU record low of - 48 degrees Celsius. Andy is still at Scroggie. Klaus and Pearse are 30 miles out. Tom and Joachim are 32 miles away from this checkpoint. Andy Heading is currently in Scroggie Creek and will stay there for another 24 hours. He would have liked to continue but was held by our checkpoint team for safety reasons. The last two nights temperatures went down to - 40 degrees. Now we are expecting - 45 degrees. This means our safety procedures come into effect. The main issue at the moment are our snowmachines. Both Scroggie Creek and our team at Pelly Farms are experiencing difficulties with the machines. Two of Bearcats we are getting exchanged today. Andy reached Scroggie with frostbite and with temperatures decreasing even further and snow machines not starting the crew at Scroggie recommended Andy to stay and recover really well. They may also make him travel with other athletes as these come in. This will ...

Training and Racing: Tuesday 20 February - Sunday 25 February 2007 Tuesday 20 February - 6:30pm Nottingham Tennis Centre, University Boulevard. We will be doing the 10 mile Wollaton Route (including the dog leg to the QMC) with a pyramid set of 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2 minutes. Saturday 24 February - 9am Wollaton Park easy 7.5 mile run for 1 hour, meet at St. Leonard's Avenue, Wollaton. Run the Inter-Counties Route! Sunday 25 February 9am Nottingham Tennis Centre for a 17.5m run to Stapleford and along the canal. Races Saturday 24 February at Wollaton Park, Nottingham, incorporating World Junior Trials, in conjunction with the UK CAU Inter-Counties Cross Country Championships. Saturday 24 February 9am Belvoir Challenge 15 & 26 miles. http://www.belvoirchallenge.fsnet.co.uk/ And for the Farmers Market fiends; it's West Bridgford High Street today.

Andy Heading holds the lead. He arrived in Carmacks at 23:28 on Valentine’s Day and left at 6:31 this morning. Only his sled is a little worse for wear, with one stay missing and a snow-scooping hole burnt through the bottom.

It's not a laughing matter! This is hard work!
