Congratulations to all dogs!
I've got a couple of questions about the results:
a) The final ranking depends just on the final time? I mean, it's just like a race or there's a judgment on "how" they run the 40/70 kms? Is there a maximum time to finish the race and get "excellent" or you need to proove anything else?
b) Is there a maximum time to run the 40/70 kms?
c) Is it possible to run with your dog or you HAVE to bike with him?
d) I'm quite surprise about the temperature: isn't there a maximum temperature over that you can't do that kind of exam? I know that in sleddog races (ESDRA Rules) that's one of the most importatnt parameter for judges to allow the race begin/continue.
I can immagine that these Q could seem to be silly to most of you. Sorry about that: i really don't know much about this exam but it sounds interesting to me. Thanks,
Stefano
