This year CDD is hosting the Skyhoundz Western Open Qualifier at Thornton. That means there will be great teams from all over the United States competing alongside all the outstanding Colorado teams. (Maybe Bonnie and I will just watch. : ) ) The Thornton competition runs during Thorntonfest in the special venue Pawfest. There are lots of things to see and do in addition to K9 Frisbee.

This is SkyHoundz format competition at Thornton Rec Fields. Event starts at 8:00am. Registration opens at 7:30am. See Colorado Disc Dogs schedule for more information.

Colorado is home to some of the best Disc Dog teams in the World. If you want to learn more about the sport and competitions in Colorado join the CDD at Sherrelwood Park, May 12, 2007. Registration is at 12:30. $25 per team, or $35 for a family (multiple handlers or dogs). Private lessons, $10/15 minute session. The seminar will cover the basics and more advanced topics. Private lessons give you a chance to work one-on-one with experienced teams.

508 miles, 35,000 feet elevation gain. Entries are not accepted until May. My “I’m gonna die…” post not withstanding, if I get into this I plan to train well enough to enjoy most of the 508 miles. Furnace Creek is also a qualifier for RAAM.

The 2006 Grand Teton 50 was my first ultra. This is a beautiful course and we had perfect weather last year. It is also great to be able to walk from your hotel room to the start line. If you have family or friends who want to come support there are lots of opportunities for them to see you right at the base aid station. Honestly though, the volunteers at this race are so great you really don’t need crew. I can’t wait to try the 100.
