We already had adopted Bobby and Quint, also rehomed Alaskan-Siberian Huskies, as our own dogs. I tell the story about these 6 dogs <a href="https://www.rachelfreibandieri.com/e/non-profit-husky-finland/meet-the-dogs.asp" target="_blank">here</a>. They are officially owned by the Association, but we are the ones taking care of them daily. <br /><br />Fast forward a year later and 2 other rehomed huskies, Oak and Hazel, have joined the team, making a total of 11 dogs, Sparta included, in our pack. Over that year, I have also kept on with the rehoming project, which means that some dogs came and stayed at our place before moving on to their new home. So indeed, dogs have become a predominant part of my life - and thus of my family’s life. <br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Rock my World! </h3><p>I wasn’t a musher at all. In 2020, I barely knew anything about huskies and mushing. I was doing lots of different outdoor activities with Sparta, Nyx and earlier Mufasa. But I was totally foreign to the mushing and sled dogs world. So talk about change! It was literally a 180 turn… or maybe it was simply the next turn meant for us to take… <br /><br />But yes, it rocked my world. Our world. As an adventurer, my life was already nothing like the “classic” one. My career or job isn’t one I can sum up with one word, and it was already confusing people a lot! It’s not the most linear, easiest one, nor the safest. It looks more like a roller-coaster, made of super highs and super lows…Well, it’s an Adventure in itself! So definitely the best career for me :-) And I’ve chosen it, you must think. Yes, I agree. I chose it. Or rather, I kind of chose it…but that’s another story!<br /><br />Now let’s add some 10 dogs to the mix…and imagine the results…<br />Oh boy! It involved so many changes, pushed us to make up new plans, adjust, find solutions - some worked, some didn’t, and we are still in the process of finding the best solution now for our tribe and new life. From the house and country we live in, the daily organisation to the best way possible of making a decent living to provide for our lifestyle… So many questions. So many parameters to consider. Don’t get me wrong: we knew it. It was clear that it would cause a HUGE change. <br /><br />And yet, the calling was so strong. We’ve questioned and doubted ourselves about tons of things over the last year (and before already…so that doesn’t really change in a way!). But never ever have we regretted adopting and taking care of this jumpy, noisy, joyful bunch. They were meant to be in our life.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhW5nS2OZVGCU81gm0sNo_hrAKoDtlo4zgTzD6tifyM1Bn73Bc7mEQ3zvVzW4NdGbWXwxCXu8GsSIA4aw0NuFDg2GuEaj_SQ-_65TzH0sWayj_iI33qM00d2z4RVEsdbGq61YYD4E62UvaWCXPZ2UOHC5YNYQ2VnTS8aYLJeeNU12ey1a22PT4UJb5BPg=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhW5nS2OZVGCU81gm0sNo_hrAKoDtlo4zgTzD6tifyM1Bn73Bc7mEQ3zvVzW4NdGbWXwxCXu8GsSIA4aw0NuFDg2GuEaj_SQ-_65TzH0sWayj_iI33qM00d2z4RVEsdbGq61YYD4E62UvaWCXPZ2UOHC5YNYQ2VnTS8aYLJeeNU12ey1a22PT4UJb5BPg=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">How does life look like with 11 dogs, a cat and a horse?</h3>Quite active! When you take care of animals, and want to make sure they all get the attention the deserve and exercise they need, days are pretty busy, to say the least. Not many lazy days unfortunately. But I feel that what is the most draining is that we are split between two places, two countries, two lifestyles and three businesses. We will never be 100% mushers. This isn’t us. We are outdoorsy people, animal lovers and travel freaks. Our next challenge is to figure out the best way to live our love for animals and our passion for adventures and travels. Because Adventurers are not meant to stay still in one spot. <br /><br />Over the past 10 years, we’ve been traveling with Ola (the horse), Sparta, Nyx (the twin doggies) and Milwyn (the kitty) pretty easily. The 10 new doggies are becoming fine travelers and have already made twice the trip between Switzerland-Finland…So, it is only a matter of combining it all together, isn’t it?<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>To be followed…</b></h3><br /><br />Rachel FB - The Stridershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08949412821054181944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701140471530181622.post-77392436816483081632021-12-19T21:52:00.003+01:002021-12-22T18:59:59.323+01:00#home4husky Faisons le BUZ!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWGakwKYFVLRfcoFBVPVbRY6yz01kXFzSh640sbU9KpZkUWnQK1a2fh1shlL0-0uupbRzzZH-uY60jC5_9eCxfV-yxtUS0WSnTJENIMBvg0c2wC-VkujrUna_pffe--g22h91zh4GXK8soOHIl5pks0n2dk0MqsW7KyWRmiYgq7CQ2CnZAqpgqBAt8aA=s1080" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiWGakwKYFVLRfcoFBVPVbRY6yz01kXFzSh640sbU9KpZkUWnQK1a2fh1shlL0-0uupbRzzZH-uY60jC5_9eCxfV-yxtUS0WSnTJENIMBvg0c2wC-VkujrUna_pffe--g22h91zh4GXK8soOHIl5pks0n2dk0MqsW7KyWRmiYgq7CQ2CnZAqpgqBAt8aA=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><a href="https://www.rachelfreibandieri.com/e/blogs/blog-outdoor-witch.asp?CodeListe4=20" target="_blank">English version here</a><br /></p><p><i>Appel à tous les propriétaires de Husky adoptés. Soutenez la cause en utilisant le hashtag <b>#home4husky</b> sous les photos de votre (vos) meilleur(s) ami(s) à 4 pattes, sans oublier de tagger @thestriders_adventures pour que nous puissions le partager aussi ! <b>Faisons le buz avec l'adoption des ex-chiens de traîneau !</b><br /></i><br />Alors que le bouche-à-oreille commence à fonctionner parmi les mushers et les chenils professionels, et que de plus en plus de chiens de traîneau viennent chez nous en vue d'adoption, je pense qu'il est temps que le replacement des huskies et des chiens de travail fasse le BUZZ !<br /><br />Tous les heureux propriétaires que j'ai rencontrés au cours des deux dernières années le confirmerons sans aucun doute: ces chiens sont d'excellents compagnons et s'adaptent à leur nouvelle vie de chien de compagnie avec facilité déconcertante. En Alaska, The August Fund fait un travail incroyable pour reloger les vétérans de l'Iditarod et les chiens qui ne peuvent pas faire partie des équipes de compétition. Nous pouvons créer le même réseau ici en Europe !<br /><br />Quelqu'un m'a dit, au tout début de cette aventure, qu'il n'y aurait jamais autant d'argent ou de soutien pour l'adoption de chiens de traîneau que pour les chevaux. Cela m'a piquée au vif. Pour le meilleur. Je vais démontrer le contraire. Non pas par revanche mais par conviction pour une cause en laquelle je crois quoiqu'il advienne.Tout le soutien et les commentaires positifs que nous avons reçus depuis que nous avons commencé me donnent la force de continuer… et d'en faire davantage pour les chiens de traîneau !<br /> </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Les tours en chiens de traîneau sont purement magiques.</h3><p><br />Faire un tour en traîneau est grandiose! Je ne dirai JAMAIS le contraire.</p><p>Je suis totalement tombée amoureuse du mushing, et mon mari aussi. C'est un sentiment merveilleux de conduire les chiens sur un parcours tracé au coeur d'un magnifique paysage hivernal. Des millions de personnes viennent chaque année en Scandinavie pour découvrir cette expérience unique. BEAUCOUP d'argent y est également dépensé et gagné grâce à cela.<br /><br />Et pourtant, sans les chiens, rien de tout cela n'existerait, Alors nous nous devons de rendre justice envers ceux qui rendent tout cela possible. Assurons-nous que les Husky Rides soient magiques pour tous les protagonistes, du début à la fin. Favoriser l'adoption et replacement des chiens de traîneau retraités et de ceux qui ont été élevés pour cette activité mais ne conviennent pas, profite à tous : clients et professionnels. Surtout en ces temps où le tourisme durable et l'éthique sont sous les feux de la rampe.<br /> </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Notre travail est de faire le lien entre les mushers et propriétaires de chenil et les nouveaux foyers.</h3><p><br />Leurs chiens leur sont précieux, très souvent considérés comme leurs meilleurs collègues ou même souvent comme des membres de la famille, Pourtant, tous les chenils et mushers n'ont pas les ressources pour garder tous leurs retraités ou leurs « chiens à reloger », ni le temps ou les compétences pour chercher de nouveaux domiciles. De nombreux chiens seraient plus heureux de couler leurs vieux jours dans une famille qui les chouchoute! <br /> </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Prochaine étape : Husky Paradise</h3><p><br />Marc et moi rêvons maintenant de créer un Husky Paradise, un endroit heureux en pleine nature où nous pourrions accueillir plus de chiens avant leur adoption dans des locaux conviviaux. Cela n'a pas vraiment de sens de garder ces chiens de la même manière qu'ils ont vécu toute leur vie si nous voulons qu'ils deviennent des compagnons de famille. Nous savons exactement le genre d'endroit que nous voulons créer. Et ce Husky Paradise sera un endroit parfait pour accueillir les visiteurs qui veulent passer du temps dans la nature, profiter d'activités de plein air et d'une bonne dose de cani-thérapie ;-)<br /><br /><b><i>Il y a un endroit. </i>Qui serait un match parfait. </b>Il s'agit d'obtenir le financement pour acheter la propriété et monter le projet. Alors, amis, membres et sponsors de The Striders Adventures, nous sommes à l'écoute de <b>vos brillantes idées sur la façon d'y parvenir ! </b>Parce que nous y arriverons! Et nous avons déjà hâte de vous y accueillir :-)</p><p><b>Une idée? <a href="mailto:rachel@stridersadventures.com" target="_blank">Contactez-nous</a>! </b><br /><br />Prenez soin de vous et nous vous souhaitons, ainsi qu'à vos proches, les plus belles Fêtes de fin d'année! <br /></p>Rachel FB - The Stridershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08949412821054181944noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701140471530181622.post-29376180235741410692021-04-01T08:59:00.002+02:002021-04-01T08:59:47.251+02:00Feedback et suite - 5 mois de bénévolat en Finlande avec des chiens de traîneau <div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.rachelfreibandieri.com/e/blogs/blog-adventurer-mindset.asp?CodeListe4=16" target="_blank">English version</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKOlKWYsrp5IEjbge9FLhCjmJGcuj46ooTvJ0VF3BjswLAr6yTzo7zeAh53rh48GHWAXwtBmus8jW1yr2m4MTOG6kewgRptbQOUXr-5J_6t15Fzqj6LQ4YnxpjgAHVWftQ3beszwhszpKP/s2048/7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1155" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKOlKWYsrp5IEjbge9FLhCjmJGcuj46ooTvJ0VF3BjswLAr6yTzo7zeAh53rh48GHWAXwtBmus8jW1yr2m4MTOG6kewgRptbQOUXr-5J_6t15Fzqj6LQ4YnxpjgAHVWftQ3beszwhszpKP/w640-h360/7.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Une expérience intense et inoubliable chez <a href="https://bearhillhusky.com" target="_blank">Bear Hill Husky</a></h2><p>Plus de 5 mois de bénévolat chez Bear Hill Husky à Rovaniemi, Finlande, se terminent. Une de mes expériences les plus intenses et les plus riches à ce jour - et qui marquent un tournant dans ma vie. J'ai découvert un nouveau monde et j'en suis tombé totalement amoureuse:</p><p><b>le monde des chiens de traîneau et du mushing</b></p><p>La vie au chenil est dure, beaucoup de travail, de longues journées, le tout récompensé par des tours incroyables en traîneau et la connexion et le travail magique avec les chiens. Certains jours ont été difficiles. Certains étaient stressants, intenses. Mais ensuite ... une sortie parfaite avec les chiens à travers les superbes paysages hivernaux de la Laponie efface tout et vous donne envie de remettre ça!</p><p>J'ai adoré le travail avec les chiots, les éduquer et les accompagner dans leurs premiers pas en tant que chiens de traîneau; tout autant que j'ai aimé le travail avec les retraités et les loulous qui doivent trouver une nouvelle famille. Très impliquée dans le projet de placement et adoption, il était vraiment important pour moi d'avoir une vue d'ensemble et de mieux comprendre ce monde particulier, - les chiens, les mushers, les propriétaires de chenil, les raisons les amenant à être adoptés, etc - pour pouvoir trouver les meilleures foyers pour ces chiens. Et j'ai encore BEAUCOUP à découvrir!</p><p>Et j'ai également pu participer à ma toute première course de mushing avec mon équipe de chiens adoptés - grâce au petit "coup de pouce (pied!)" de Valentijn et Veronika (!). Quelle expérience! Trop adoré!!!! En tant que coureuse d'ultra distance, je me suis vraiment éclatée en participant à un événement aussi fun et intense qui allier tout ce que j'aime: neige, chien, sport! J'ai trouvé ça vraiment gratifiant et passionant de travailler et de courir avec les chiens en équipe. A quand la prochaine?!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrQcMZ7QPXwS8bWgdX_mpMyGcyJS7MVzp8qQyx2fOvqstNRXyNTTeosRXWsDcyPRTaQHAQ-8wj5RWEkt_Y_TTuJgmgC5pMrgvN3fo83B6pw3tsTs6uXL5E4bNLv3SXRwL3bMAeyOlJERC7/s2048/166024717_949123279229741_1488380766058548619_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1356" data-original-width="2048" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrQcMZ7QPXwS8bWgdX_mpMyGcyJS7MVzp8qQyx2fOvqstNRXyNTTeosRXWsDcyPRTaQHAQ-8wj5RWEkt_Y_TTuJgmgC5pMrgvN3fo83B6pw3tsTs6uXL5E4bNLv3SXRwL3bMAeyOlJERC7/w400-h265/166024717_949123279229741_1488380766058548619_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Et après?</h3><p>Je vais rester au chenil Bear Hill Husky pendant encore quelques mois, pour m'occuper des 8 chiens dont je suis maintenant responsable - Bob et Quint sont à moi à titre privé, et les 6 autres, Typy, Vinku, Hassu, Posh, Sporty and Baby appartiennent à <a href="https://www.rachelfreibandieri.com/e/non-profit-husky-finland/meet-the-dogs.asp" target="_blank">l'Association</a>, - et de continuer à travailler sur l'organisation à but non lucratif pour les chiens de traîneau que nous avons mise en place.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Mise à jour sur la situation d'adoption à Bear Hill Husky</h3><p>Avec les propriétaires Valentijn et Veronika, et l'aide des autres employés et bénévoles du chnil, quelque 35 chiens ont été replacés depuis le printemps dernier; 14 chiens d'entre eux depuis mon arrivée en novembre, principalement comme chiens de compagnie.

Les companies de chiens de traîneau, et en particulier les chiens eux-mêmes, sont les premiers à payer les frais de l'absence de tourisme.<br /><br />C'est comme ça que j'ai eu une idée:<br /><br /><em><strong>Pourquoi ne pas utiliser l'Association The Striders Adventures, l'ONG de soutien aux animaux que j'ai créée, pour adopter, parrainer et réintégrer les chiens de traîneau? à commencer par 6 chiens de Bear Hill Husky et ainsi soutenir leur politique de non-mise à mort.</strong></em></span><div><b><i><br data-cke-eol="1" /></i></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtXTf-DYHFSWyKpOeZxSBrHX4ti5cZHPqhOAjcMJ0lgZGsF-chTFeGUe3-KwChVqniFcS7xplU0fSS-cXy-bejOY2QDIezriPVotH3z_7o6sBkbP3jIF6Gfg5s2ic1VhNKtLRMp_ydwuN-/s2048/20210115_124955.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtXTf-DYHFSWyKpOeZxSBrHX4ti5cZHPqhOAjcMJ0lgZGsF-chTFeGUe3-KwChVqniFcS7xplU0fSS-cXy-bejOY2QDIezriPVotH3z_7o6sBkbP3jIF6Gfg5s2ic1VhNKtLRMp_ydwuN-/w640-h360/20210115_124955.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">La situation actuelle</h3><p>Contrairement aux motoneiges, les chiens ne peuvent pas être simplement mis en veille pendant quelques années jusqu'à ce que les choses s'améliorent ...</p><p>Bear Hill Husky est un chenil avec une forte politique de non-destruction - ils trouvent de nouvelles places ou activités pour les retraités.

I’ve always been a dog person (an animal person in general…!), but I truly fell in love with that breed. Since then I’ve adopted another one, Bobby’s brother Quint. And I’m now working in the same husky kennel where I got these two boys from. <br /><br />One of my jobs is to find new homes for the dogs that need to, for various reasons. I get many questions from people interested in adopting one, so I think it’s worth writing more information on the topic. <br /><br />I hope to answer here all the potential questions you have whether you’re interested in adopting a husky or simply out of curiosity on them and why there are dogs to re-home. If not, or if you’re interested in other related topics, drop me a line or comment below. 😀<br /><br /><b>In today's post, I’m addressing the WHY?</b></div><div><b><br /></b><br /><i><b><u>Important Note</u></b><br /><br /><span style="background-color: #fcff01;">This article is meant to be informative, but may not be exhaustive. There are as many ways to manage husky kennels and reasons to rehome dogs as they are kennel owners. I can only talk of the husky kennels I know and their policy regarding re-homing dogs, especially in these Covid times. Rehoming huskies is still not such a common practice, yet the situation is evolving and I hope more kennels will adopt such a policy in the coming months, years. Just as it is common practice with race horses!</span></i><br /><br /><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Why do some huskies need to be rehomed?</h3><br />There are several reasons why a sled dog is offered for adoption /rehoming.<br /><br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">1. It is time for a well-earned retirement from running safaris</h4><br />Sled dogs usually run safaris until they are between 8-11 years old. Most of them are still fit to run after that age, but it’s better for them to stick to leisure runs. <br /><br />Some of the retirees are awesome teachers for the younger dogs and keep helping out at the kennel. Others are totally fine as kennel dogs and wouldn’t be too happy in a classic home. These guys enjoy their retirement years on the kennel ground, taking regular exercise in the running fences. <br /><br />But for the majority of them, they love attention and cuddles, the comfort of a nice and warm home, and would totally enjoy the rest of their life as “pet dogs”! These are the perfect candidates for adoption!<br /><br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">2. The dog would be happier in another activity or place</h4>And there can be various reasons for that too.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcy8Qhi-Rc0dHxKOStwDUFkrkV1Qr6ef6qw5D3R6OoTJnjJ22OO84qZt58hMFHgwwjJlhRohiPQIk4oCce96ALenhkERzTiPqD3PsMOgl54UWgfPLJogzXQ0NqakHf5Ll6im66qXcs_JbM/s4032/20201217_113300.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: right;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcy8Qhi-Rc0dHxKOStwDUFkrkV1Qr6ef6qw5D3R6OoTJnjJ22OO84qZt58hMFHgwwjJlhRohiPQIk4oCce96ALenhkERzTiPqD3PsMOgl54UWgfPLJogzXQ0NqakHf5Ll6im66qXcs_JbM/s320/20201217_113300.jpg" /></a>Huskies run because they like it. It’s pure fun for them. Dogs don’t understand the concept of work. They like what they do, they find pleasure in running. Otherwise, they just stop doing it or can develop behavioural issues. They are born to run. Yet they all have their own character, personality an preferences. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: right;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: right;">And....</span></div></div><div><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><ul><ul><li>some dogs don’t enjoy running safaris.</li><li>some are great sled dogs when placed in a smaller or private kennel; </li><li>some need to create a special bond with a single musher</li><li>some feel more confident when running with the same musher or team.</li><li>etc.</li></ul></ul></ul><br />It can also be that the dog and the kennel are not a perfect match and that the said dog would be better in another place that matches his qualities, temper or type better.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Jp3wZmmMTxfRMxHMFsqkbsVJiOwmUu9tfisbF8dcUXajWR5Rvr_eRsc24KoTIhi0EVridX0OoVZwMpwfI-0SqOgw1BUYFDkJqcz8rUvZjakUfze8J_wMyAgvIY5n9TYyeLZg6h_P6eWn/s2048/20210106_141635.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Jp3wZmmMTxfRMxHMFsqkbsVJiOwmUu9tfisbF8dcUXajWR5Rvr_eRsc24KoTIhi0EVridX0OoVZwMpwfI-0SqOgw1BUYFDkJqcz8rUvZjakUfze8J_wMyAgvIY5n9TYyeLZg6h_P6eWn/w640-h480/20210106_141635.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><h4 style="text-align: left;">3. The dog has specific health or food requirements</h4><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKY89xSBBsebJuGVTF8yc_pFdEpo2zFPj1n0U_-DKoCRKhmCSUidkJCa45fZGlLglqSqSQgMDZlNjpdRPLRA7HLuZ0ZVNfGs9NlpBolxrnuvu1cyb07sgfzrQY-lFICDHf40rQyZxTNKOk/s960/122065057_3525149624190064_4187392780732179087_n.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; font-size: 18.72px; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKY89xSBBsebJuGVTF8yc_pFdEpo2zFPj1n0U_-DKoCRKhmCSUidkJCa45fZGlLglqSqSQgMDZlNjpdRPLRA7HLuZ0ZVNfGs9NlpBolxrnuvu1cyb07sgfzrQY-lFICDHf40rQyZxTNKOk/s320/122065057_3525149624190064_4187392780732179087_n.jpg" /></a>It was the case with my two boys, Bobby and Quint. They are young (only 5 now) but have a history of seizures and hypoglycaemia. This was problematic at the kennel. For me, as their private owner, it’s not such a big deal. I can easily adapt the food I give them, and the type of activity I do with them to ensure they are fine, not overstressed and remain strong and healthy. They are doing amazing and adapted super quickly to their new lifestyle! </div><br />The dog can have had an accident, like a broken leg or else, that would require extra care when run in safaris. This cannot be asked from the guests, of course. In this case, it is better to find the dog a new home where it can still run, play and other outdoor activities with the right attention from their owner. One dog who had a broken toe, was recently adopted by a very active family with three kids. He now goes on regular long runs, is perfectly happy and loves his new home!</div><div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>4.

Indeed. Another trip north with the Toyota Land Cruiser, the horse trailer, Ola and Bobby, my re-homed husky. <br /><br />Yes, we did it again. 3’000km. But this time, <b>I travelled alone. And that was a major challenge for me</b>. I had so many doubts and apprehension… <br /><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Am I able to drive such a long distance with the trailer, alone, with a horse and a dog to take care of?</li><li>And in “corona times”… How is it going to be with the controls at the border?</li><li>What about the covid situation, practically speaking when driving through all these different countries? Will I find stables for Ola every night or not at all?</li><li>What about the road conditions in mid November? Will there be snow? Will I need to change to stud tyres in the middle of my trip north? </li></ul><br />Why did I have to travel alone? Well, things happened pretty quickly and not really as planned. So my hubby was too busy with work in Switzerland, the timing was just really bad and he couldn't make it. As I'm stubborn, I decided that it simply meant I could do it!<br /><br />Initially, I was going to work as a freelance wilderness guide in Rovaniemi/Finland. Plan that was cut short in early October, obviously due to the overall situation… <br /><br />But I still knew somehow that I will spend the winter season there. I just didn’t know how it will happen… <br /><br />So, for a while, I just gave up on the idea and was trying to find a way to get Quint, Bobby’s brother, to fly over to Switzerland. I had promise to adopt him when I would come back… As I couldn’t right now, I still wanted to keep my word. <br /><br />Sometime later, I was offered to work as a volunteer for the husky kennel where I had adopted Bobby. So, if I stayed there, I could both help them out and take care of Quint! <br /><br />It meant I could travel without problem to Finland and do a job that I dream of trying! Isn’t that an amazing dream come true?! <b>Pure Magic Manifestation!</b> <br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Planning - Packing and Go! </h3><br />Life happened at a frantic pace during the few weeks before my departure! As I had decided to launch a <a href="https://www.rachelfreibandieri.com/e/online-courses.asp" target="_blank">new online course</a>, I was working full time to get it rock and rolling! In these gloomy times, I wanted to create a course that would help people feel better and more empowered, so I simply couldn’t let this project down. <br /><br />I also had to plan the trip, gather information regarding the corona situation, do all the admin work and of course close any unfinished business at home… To give you an idea, I started with packing three days before hitting the road...! <br /><br />But we made it! Marc helped me with the car and trailer, so once again I knew I was totally in good hands with my Toy. <br /><br />And then.. it was time to go. With doubts and anxiety. But anyway, I just wanted to go! <br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="312" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MDbHsYtshVI" width="477" youtube-src-id="MDbHsYtshVI"></iframe><br /><h3><br /></h3><h3>Traveling in times of pandemic </h3><br />Did you ever had this strong call or feeling inside you that, however scary or impossible something seems to be, you know that you can do it? Even against everybody’s opinion? That’s how I felt when I left. <br /><br />I knew many were worrying for me. I was tempted to doubt my ability to do it. Marc didn’t. He always believes in me. And somehow it helped me overcome my doubts or even guilt to take my horse on another long trip. <br /><br />And so we left. <br /><br />I won’t go in details about all the trip. Too long. So much to say! To keep it short, here’s how it went: <br /><br /><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><b>The trip? Incredibly well.<br /> <br />The borders? Amazingly easy.<br /> <br />Bobby and Ola? These ones are made to travel<br /> <br />The road? Weird and empty!</b> a floating feeling of apocalypse… It was a relief to arrive in Sweden! </blockquote><br />I found places to stay overnight for Ola nearly every night, except for two. Once was in Germany and one in northern Sweden. Actually I had kind of planned to spend these two outside, as it was hard to plan the mileage in advance for these two stages. <div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMIfldHgRVe5aJXIBTdPAMm2247L9eqtUW6ztbthNXqcFJUfSyhTrLImMgxIWaAJUorMMQpXj1LB9wgkqX1L5nhPsdE2tjvQZ_sgCvsoDGGkgdrY6LhO04m5UYW508fk4Mokgmbsrukn7A/s4032/20201113_074138.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMIfldHgRVe5aJXIBTdPAMm2247L9eqtUW6ztbthNXqcFJUfSyhTrLImMgxIWaAJUorMMQpXj1LB9wgkqX1L5nhPsdE2tjvQZ_sgCvsoDGGkgdrY6LhO04m5UYW508fk4Mokgmbsrukn7A/w400-h225/20201113_074138.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><br />For these two nights outdoor we camped in perfect spots! Ola seems to have really understood how things works and she’s happy as long as she can get enough attention and exercise at the end of the day. At the camp, only a simple rope around a few poles is enough to make a paddock for her to walk free. <br /><br />She travels so easily! And loads in the trailer no problem, on her own, except when she prefers to sleep outside. She knows the routine. <br /><br />Bobby can be a bit more stressed out on the motorway, so I try to avoid taking him for walks if there’s too much traffic around. Otherwise, he’s a dream dog in every way! <br /><br />The weather was fine. Not too cold. Only one day of rain and bad, exhausting road conditions. For November, it’s more than awesome! <br /><br /><br /><h3>Hospitality and friendship </h3><br />I must admit I’m so lucky to have met such lovely people during my previous trips. Once again, two of these places I went last year welcomed me and my tribe. And a third one, that was full and couldn’t take us this time, found another great place for us to stay overnight. What else can I say? Isn’t that amazing? There are really great people out there even in times of pandemic! <br /><br />Maybe it’s purely because of the chocolate boxes and Christmas biscuits I brought… lol <br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxbYJYupz2nMy7fWqKPbo7bkR2dvRHhuSg1daYyIzUkpjEcylNr0vJfPP44HAM6ZHu3DAAqPK5NJiH9BSmrxTHf45ZDrDlfZ04bkAs5-QbkhSD3gw_V-WKAWPd1w4Prsu4vAO1kDi6iX4-/s4032/20201111_134145.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxbYJYupz2nMy7fWqKPbo7bkR2dvRHhuSg1daYyIzUkpjEcylNr0vJfPP44HAM6ZHu3DAAqPK5NJiH9BSmrxTHf45ZDrDlfZ04bkAs5-QbkhSD3gw_V-WKAWPd1w4Prsu4vAO1kDi6iX4-/w400-h225/20201111_134145.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /><h3>Rovaniemi, here we are again! </h3><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY7GNhOyf0KnzmlLLESA80gv7rm1OZD0LJeKL3d7-A5NSsQ_SMoe9D9NH2QSIDC3zzkz2vmAG7haHvwi8YqL1hj9yGLkfuNfKeVneWlgzS4DiryOhIimvqXFSqoQILxkfWxY8LZBWGthy0/s4032/20201120_110616.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY7GNhOyf0KnzmlLLESA80gv7rm1OZD0LJeKL3d7-A5NSsQ_SMoe9D9NH2QSIDC3zzkz2vmAG7haHvwi8YqL1hj9yGLkfuNfKeVneWlgzS4DiryOhIimvqXFSqoQILxkfWxY8LZBWGthy0/w400-h225/20201120_110616.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />It took me 7 days with a two nights stop to get to Rovaniemi.

Since my early 20s, I have heard on and on people commenting on me
being very active and my high energy level. Then they would compare
themselves, finding reasons why I was so and they were not: “you’ll see
when you’ll reach my age”, “...when you’ll work full time”, “...you have
responsibility, kids, back pain, etc.” you name it! For many years, I
thought that yes, maybe that was true…and often I would feel somehow
guilty or “too much”. </span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Now,
years later, I’m of course much older, still doing as much as when I
was 25 and feeling better than ever in my body and mind… Yet I keep
hearing the same comments...by both younger and older people than me..!</span></p><p><i><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">So what’s the trick? Is it merely down to luck and a naturally good condition? Really? I once wrote an article “<a data-mce-href="https://www.rachelfreibandieri.com/blog/cleanermind-cleanerworld" href="https://www.rachelfreibandieri.com/blog/cleanermind-cleanerworld" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A cleaner mind for a better world</a>” that was a first approach on this topic. I thought it was worth going a bit further on the matter ;-)</span></i></p><h3><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Let me start with a short story<br /></span></h3><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">
When I was 14, I was accidentally kicked by a horse in the abdomen and
was severely injured. I had to undergo emergency surgery as the internal
bleeding was important. It was a life-threatening situation, and as the
accident happened in a small village in the remote French countryside,
there was no other option than to take me to the small local hospital.
Yet despite the seriousness of the condition, I was extremely lucky: the
surgeon did an amazing job, my smashed spleen was saved (which is
pretty rare); my parents were allowed to stay all the time with me as it
was a small local hospital and the whole family ended up coming over to
spend the summer holidays there. It happened mid-July. End August, I
was horse riding again. And in September I was able to resume my
modern-jazz class - even if with some caution the first weeks.</span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Was it all just luck? My young age? My good overall condition?</b> </span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">At first I thought so. But looking back, and reviewing other events in my life, I realized that there’s far more to it. <i>Something</i>
that made it possible for me to see the “lucky”, positive elements in
that painful situation, to seize the opportunity and bounce back. <i>Something</i> that led me to recover completely and pretty quickly, and become physically stronger than before. <i>Something</i> that didn’t want me to be considered as a poor little thing, a weakened, fragile teenager.<i> Something</i> that didn’t want to be put in a “box” or labelled. <br /></span></p><p><b>That <i>something</i> was my Mindset. <br /></b></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">The Adventurer Mindset.</span></p><h3><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></h3><h3><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Shift the Perspective<br data-mce-bogus="1" /></span></h3><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;"><img data-mce-src="https://kajabi-storefronts-production.global.ssl.fastly.net/kajabi-storefronts-production/blogs/10413/images/lfEfS5paQTG5cpT3fBRw_1.png" data-mce-style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" height="530" src="https://kajabi-storefronts-production.global.ssl.fastly.net/kajabi-storefronts-production/blogs/10413/images/lfEfS5paQTG5cpT3fBRw_1.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="353" /></span></p><blockquote><p><b>What if…</b></p><p><b>… Any given reasons are mere excuses that prevent us from doing or being something? <br /></b></p></blockquote><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Some
are part of the limiting beliefs that are instilled in our minds as we
grow up. Some are cultural. Some are born from our life experiences -
whether they are related to physical condition, emotions, failures, or
successes... Very often, these excuses are so common and wide-spread
that they are socially accepted and even reinforced and encouraged by
others who are experiencing the same and can relate to you…</span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Age, family responsibilities, finances, body conditions…</span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Very
often we aren’t even aware of them. Or let’s rather say that we let
these excuses and reasons dictate our life experience, because we are
not taught to use our minds in a better way. <br /></span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;"><img data-mce-src="https://kajabi-storefronts-production.global.ssl.fastly.net/kajabi-storefronts-production/blogs/10413/images/X79wwEalTDCboUYIc4py_2.png" data-mce-style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" height="531" src="https://kajabi-storefronts-production.global.ssl.fastly.net/kajabi-storefronts-production/blogs/10413/images/X79wwEalTDCboUYIc4py_2.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="354" /></span></p><blockquote><p><b>What if…</b></p><p><b>...we
had the choice to think otherwise and create another reality for
ourselves, despite the outer conditions? - any outer condition.</b></p></blockquote><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">When
I was 14, I didn’t want to be considered a victim of these events, and
thought only about my horse, being able to get back on his back as soon
as possible and start my ballet class in time. I chose to recover
quickly. I chose to work as hard as I could in school not to repeat the
grade. Despite the pain, despite the awful red and swollen scar that
would forever be displayed on my abdomen, despite having missed a lot of
classes in school for several months, despite having teachers and
people in my surrounding not believing I would succeed, I did it. <br /></span></p><p data-mce-style="padding-left: 30px;" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Why? How come? </span></p><p data-mce-style="padding-left: 30px;" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Because I had goals. </span></p><p data-mce-style="padding-left: 30px;" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Because I knew I could. </span></p><p data-mce-style="padding-left: 30px;" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">And put all my energy towards them. </span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">I
was only 14 and totally oblivious of all this, at least in these terms.
I simply didn’t want to be limited in my actions by anyone else’s
opinion about me. I didn't want to be stopped by the fears and limits of
adults. <br /></span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">The
same mindset has accompanied and guided me. Except that now, I’m fully
aware of the mechanism, which makes it even more powerful. And I have
fine-tuned it over time, and keep doing so. I find it so interesting to
play and explore the power of our minds!</span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;"> Of
course I had setbacks, went through hard times and failures. But I also
had, - have and will have (!) - successes, fun challenges and happy
stories. Like everyone else. Because we all are humans, with ups and
downs as part of the beauty and challenges of our experience. But this
Adventurer Mindset has always served me in the most beautiful ways,
allowing me to bounce back and create my Life as I dream and envision
it. <br /></span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;"><img data-mce-src="https://kajabi-storefronts-production.global.ssl.fastly.net/kajabi-storefronts-production/blogs/10413/images/ooRmt6KxTSqghco2FCI1_3.png" data-mce-style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" height="439" src="https://kajabi-storefronts-production.global.ssl.fastly.net/kajabi-storefronts-production/blogs/10413/images/ooRmt6KxTSqghco2FCI1_3.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="292" /></span></p><blockquote><p><b>What if...</b></p><p><b>...This shift in Mindset was the Key that unlocks the path to the Manifestation of any solution or dream?</b></p></blockquote><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">I
am using it on a daily basis. With physical conditions. When I
encounter fears, doubts or that things don't turn as expected. With
finances and relationships. With dreams and projects I have. </span></p><ul><li><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">I
choose to see every challenge, obstacle or setback as an opportunity to
learn something and head to an even better situation or outcome.</span></li><li><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">I choose to look for the solution (s) rather than focus on the problem.</span></li><li><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">I choose the Feel-good thought over the “All-black scenario” one. </span></li><li><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">I choose to believe in and focus on the slightest positive sign when everything seems hopeless and lost. </span></li><li><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">I choose to believe in my dreams and focus on my goals, despite any temporary outer condition.</span></li></ul><p data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center;"><i>Even
when I have no idea how I will make it to the other end of the tunnel, I
make a mental image of what it will looks like on the other side, how I
will feel, who I will be...and I stick to that vision, knowing that the
lights will turn on as I walk towards it.</i></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Whenever
something new arises, it is an opportunity for me to grow. However
tricky, hopeless or unsolvable it might appear at first, I KNOW that
sooner or later, something good, better, even sometimes amazing will be
born out of it. Every single time. And the more I practice it, the
quicker the solution comes. The quicker I meet the right people, I am
inspired to an action that leads to a series of incredible
synchronicities, hear or read something just spot on... Sometimes the
solution comes in surprising ways, often in a far better version than I
could have planned!<br /></span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">There is definitely Magic in this process. <br /></span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Yes,
it is sometimes challenging to know that you have power over your own
choice of thoughts and on the way you consider events occurring in your
experience. Yes, it takes a bit of courage and practice, as you can so
easily get back to that “sloppy thinking”. Isn’t it somehow comfortable
to see ourselves as poor little things, victim of our life and of outer
conditions, to complain and criticize others? I still do it. Believe
me, I’m just like everyone else! But...it doesn’t feel good very long
and I usually don’t find it interesting anymore... </span></p><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Once
you embrace your power over your own life, it gives such a wonderful
taste of freedom, magic and adventure to it! I would never want to go
back to the “old” way of thinking. Never. <br /></span></p><p><i><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">This Shift in Mindset can be applied to any areas of your life, if you...</span></i></p><ul><li><i><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">are ready to accept that you have power over your own reality - or at least are open to give it a try!</span></i></li><li><i><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">are willing to look at your “excuses” with kindness and honesty. </span></i></li></ul><blockquote><p data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center;"><b>This is the Key to amazing and unlimited Energy! <br /></b><b><b>This is</b> the Key to bouncing back from any situation! <br /></b><b><b>This is</b> the Key to living Your Life as you want it</b></p></blockquote><p><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="font-weight: 400;">Why don’t you give it a go?

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">Nothing will ever be the same again. Nyx is gone.

I </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; display: inline;">still can’t believe it. The Striders lost their Hunter… I’ve lost my closest friend, my confidante, my black beauty. Always so lively, so cheerful.. So many adventures together...<br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; display: inline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The news of her being so seriously sick drained all the power I had to go over another technical issues during the expedition.

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; display: inline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now she’s gone. I feel so empty. I know she’s there next to us and will always be there...Yet right now it’s so painful… My heart is broken. I try to learn from the other three Striders who are doing a much better job at accepting what cannot be changed… Animals are so much wiser than us, humans… It will take time for tears to dry… </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">After 20 days and nearly 700km done, I had to stop the expedition for good. My ski binding (again!) broke on Friday and despite some basic repair, it made it harder to ski and my progression very slow. I was already pretty tired, so this didn't help!! On Sat, after a tough section, I decided to stop. It's been a very hard decision to make, believe me... but now I feel ok with it. I made it so far. I covered nearly 700km on my own, in conditions that were sometimes rea</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">lly hard! pulling my heavy Gungnir in all terrains and harsh weather conditions, and overcame so many obstacles in three weeks!

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">I still need some time to process it all... write, share...there will be a book for sure... but for now, I came up with this idea:</span></div>
Many are locked in or restrain in their moves. It's not an easy time, it is a very unsettling... As my Arctic 1000 expedition is now over, I wondered how I could share it while entertaining and maybe inspire some of you to a more hopeful state of mind. Obviously I won't be able to give public talks before long...so...let's make the best of social media and today's technology!<br />
Star<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ting on Monday 23.03.2020, I will give a series of lives on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thestridersadventures/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and will then publish them on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0lkqXCfeKJa4bLOm0fYLcg?view_as=subscriber" target="_blank">Youtube channel</a>.

<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Après 20 jours et près de 700 km parcourus, j'ai dû arrêter définitivement l'expédition. Ma fixation de ski (encore!) s'est cassée vendredi et malgré une nouvelle réparation de fortune, cela devenait pénible de skier et ma progression très lente. J'étais déjà assez fatiguée, donc çela n'a pas aidé !! Le samedi, après une section difficile et d'autres nouvelles difficiles à digérer... j'ai décidé d'arrêter. Ce fut une décision très difficile à prendre, croyez-moi ... mais maintenant je me sens bien avec ça. J'ai fait bien plus dur que je le pensais... J'ai parcouru près de 700 km seule, dans des conditions parfois très difficiles! tirant ma Gungnir sur tous les terrains posibles et dans des conditions météorologiques difficiles, surmonté tant d'obstacles en trois semaines! C'était EXTRÊME en effet!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">J'ai encore besoin de temps pour tout digérer et me rendre vraiment compte de ce que j'ai fait. Ecrire, partager...il y aura un livre, c'est sûr! Pour le moment, il m'est venu l'idée suivante: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Beaucoup sont bloqués à la maison et la plupart restreints dans nos mouvements. Période difficile, très dérangeante et préoccupante pour beaucoup. Mon expé Arctic 1000 étant terminée, je me suis demandé comment la partager, tout en divertissant mon public et peut-être inspirer certains d'entre vous à un état d'esprit plus joyeux... Vu qu'a priori, je ne suis pas prête de donner des conférences publiques, faisons bon usage des réseaux sociaux et de la technologie actuelle!</span></div>

<h3>Beloved Lapland</h3><br />
This winter in Lapland is magical!<br />
<br />
Not that I spent my days on reindeer and snowmobile safaris, like in the typical dream holidays you can spend here - even if I'd enjoy it! ...and I certainly will go, as a reward after the expedition..😉<br />
<br />
To be honest, my days are quite busy and rather "common", but the simple fact of living here, up North makes everything beautiful! <br />

</tbody></table>Believe it or not, but making sure that my 4 furry ones are happy and have enough activity already take a good deal of time. Mainly due to the low temperatures and outer conditions, I can't combine my training and their daily dose of activity. But whatever, it simply requires a bit more organisation... but my! what a fantastic experience! how fortunate I am to have them here! Sometimes, it's still hard to believe: Ola is here with me in Northern Finland!!!<br />
<br />
If they require time and care, Sparta, Nyx, Milwyn and Ola bring me so much! fresh air, laughter and joy! Without them I think I would really get stupid, with my head down in Arctic 1000 and not much else....<br />
<br />
It's also a great way to get to meet new people, learn new or other ways of doing things, especially with horses. I truly enjoy it! <br />
<br />
And what a magical feeling it is.. to go riding on the snowy forest tracks and icy roads! Some days the colours are so beautiful....shades of pink, orange, blue... I've found my paradise on Earth<br />

It's funny how quickly we adapt to new situations. Some days, I catch myself thinking: not a cold day, only minus 10 °c today...! But actually even Milwyn stays now much longer outside when it's far below zero than she did the first weeks.<br />
<br />
It's such a luxury to be able to test and check what works, what doesn't , in real conditions. I must say, the challenge is so big, that it's really worth it! For instance, I've noticed that for me, temperatures become challenging from minus 17°c and below. Minus 10°c is my "ideal" temperature : snow conditions are great for skiing and dealing with heat management when dragging the pulka is easier. <br />

<br />
Talking about pulka, let me introduce you my big sled, Gungnir. Let's be fair: she's a monster. Huge and heavy for me. She weights about 40-45 kg in total....! But she's also my best chance of success in this adventure - along with my skis. So she deserved a proper name. Gungnir is the name of Odin's magical sword: powerful and never missing her target. I like that name, it seems very appropriate to the goal I want to reach...so my red sword (that looks more like a Drakkar though!) will help me reach it!<br />
<br />
We're slowly getting used to each other 😉... yet Gungnir remains heavy, and I still have doubts that I can do the intended mileage per day, especially in heavy snow. I'm no faster than 2km/hour then... But well, I shall see...<br />
<br />
<h4>Feeling of the North</h4><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc3q1_ghLMoyk-3o-GTyIWN2xpDYgs3NeNnBBF1VIgqtDSSZsu6DgaZUQPihZSi4-6_8p1dYNsvi23S8iQrQctyt-OIcvwA23uAST1XhLqhWD-PXANxU5xVLhwpUeuu4abd0-u3lzzKwKs/s1600/20200124_084843.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc3q1_ghLMoyk-3o-GTyIWN2xpDYgs3NeNnBBF1VIgqtDSSZsu6DgaZUQPihZSi4-6_8p1dYNsvi23S8iQrQctyt-OIcvwA23uAST1XhLqhWD-PXANxU5xVLhwpUeuu4abd0-u3lzzKwKs/s320/20200124_084843.jpg" /></a>....because living up here means far more than training and working. Whenever I come here, it takes me some time to get into Lapland mode, as if I needed to adapt, adjust on a more subtle level to the energy over here. Not than I'm doing less things - I remain the same! but I let go of the rush, the must-do, the pressure of time and tight schedule. There is a sense of calm here, of time to live that I find very different than in my country of origin. I don't know if it is true but that's what I feel. I also feel that people are far less in this constant hurry mode. Active, lively, but never in a rush. It is so enjoyable. <br />
<br />
After a few weeks of training and living up here, I feel that I'm ready for what might be my greatest challenge so far. Even if it takes me more time than hoped to do Arctic 1000, doing my best every day, moving forward, progressing whatever the conditions, yet staying in tune with my body, Nature and the elements around me is more important than anything. And that's probably what will (hopefully) allow me to make it and cover the whole distance in the best conditions possible.<br />

<h4>Flying Adventure</h4>But for now....the very next adventure that awaits Sparta, Nyx, Milwyn and I is the journey by plane on Wed 5 Feb.... Yes, as planned, the three of them are going back to Switzerland for the length of the expedition ...and the easiest way to take them back was by plane. It's a first for all of us and I'm wondering how it will go. Yet, as usual, I believe than worrying attracts what we don't want...so let's wait and see! I'm kind of curious too.. Another experience added to our Striders Adventures catalog! <br />
<br />
After a very short stay in Switzerland, I will be back here in Rovaniemi for the very last couple weeks of preparation... <br />
<br />
<h4>Next update: tracking link!</h4><br />
The departure on Arctic 1000 will be around 22-23 Feb. I probably won't have time to write much before that. My social media (Facebook and Instagram) are kept up-to-date nearly daily. But I will for sure post here the link to the live tracking - so if you feel like following the adventure, check it out!<br />
<br />

<h3>Amour de Laponie!</h3>Cet hiver en Laponie est magique!<br />
<br />
Non pas que je passe mes journées en safaris avec rennes ou en motoneige, comme dans les vacances de rêve typiques qu'il est possible de passer ici - même si cela me plairaît bien! ... et que j'irai d'ailleurs certainement faire en récompense après l'expédition .. 😉<br />
<br />
Pour être honnête, mes journées sont assez chargées et plutôt "communes", mais le simple fait de vivre ici, dans le Nord, rend les choses juste parfaites!<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>Croyez-le ou non, mais faire en sorte que mes 4 poilus soient heureux et aient suffisamment d'activité prend déjà beaucoup de temps. En raison principalement des basses températures et des conditions extérieures, je ne peux pas toujours combiner mon entraînement avec leurs sorties quotidiennes. Cela demande un peu plus d'organisation ... mais comme cela en vaut la peine! quelle expérience fantastique! J'ai vraiment de la chance de les avoir ici! Parfois, j'ai presque peine à réaliser: Ola est ici avec moi dans le nord de la Finlande !!!<br />
<br />
Sparta, Nyx, Milwyn et Ola m'apportent vraiment beaucoup...et me donnent de sacrés fous rires! Sans eux, je pense que je serais en mode totalement stupide, la tête uniquement dans Arctic 1000 et pas grand chose d'autre ... Avoir des animaux est aussi un excellent moyen de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes, de voir et apprendre de nouvelles façons de faire, en particulier dans le monde équestre. J'adore!<br />
<br />
Et quelle sensation magique que de galoper en forêt sur les pistes enneigées et les routes gêlées! Certains jours, les couleurs sont si belles .... des nuances de rose, orange, bleu ... J'ai trouvé mon paradis sur Terre.<br />

Les températures hivernales sont enfin arrivées, et je m'habitue vraiment à présent aux températures plus froides pendant l'entraînement, pour les bivouacs, cuisiner dehors. C'est drôle la vitesse à laquelle nous nous adaptons à de nouvelles situations. Certains jours, je me surprends à penser: "oh, pas froid aujourd'hui, seulement moins 10 ° c" ...! Et d'ailleurs, même Milwyn reste maintenant beaucoup plus longtemps à l'extérieur quand il fait bien en dessous de zéro qu'elle ne l'a fait les premières semaines. C'est un tel luxe de pouvoir tester et voir ce qui fonctionne, ce qui ne fonctionne pas, en conditions réelles. Je dois dire que le défi est tel que cela en vaut vraiment la peine! Par exemple, j'ai remarqué que pour moi, les températures deviennent moins faciles à partir de moins 17 ° C et e-dessous. Moins 10 ° c est ma température "idéale": les conditions de neige sont idéales pour le ski et la gestion de la chaleur en situation d'effort de la pulka est plus aisée.<br />

En parlant de pulka, permettez-moi de vous présenter ma grand luge, Gungnir. Pour être franche: c'est un monstre. Énorme et lourde pour moi. Elle pèse environ 40-45 kg en tout ....! Mais c'est aussi ma meilleure chance de réussite dans cette aventure - avec mes skis. Elle méritait donc un nom à la hauteur. Gungnir est le nom de l'épée magique d'Odin: puissante et ne manquant jamais sa cible. J'aime bien ce mot, il me semble très approprié au but que je veux atteindre ... donc mon épée rouge (qui ressemble plus à un Drakkar!) m'aidera à l'atteindre! Nous nous habituons l'une à l'autre...😉 ... mais Gungnir reste lourde!, et j'ai quelques doutes sur le fait que je puisse parcourir le kilométrage prévu par jour, surtout dans la neige profonde.. et mes 2km/h!! ... Mais bon, je verrai bien ... <br />
<br />
<h4>Atmosphère du Nord</h4><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc3q1_ghLMoyk-3o-GTyIWN2xpDYgs3NeNnBBF1VIgqtDSSZsu6DgaZUQPihZSi4-6_8p1dYNsvi23S8iQrQctyt-OIcvwA23uAST1XhLqhWD-PXANxU5xVLhwpUeuu4abd0-u3lzzKwKs/s1600/20200124_084843.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc3q1_ghLMoyk-3o-GTyIWN2xpDYgs3NeNnBBF1VIgqtDSSZsu6DgaZUQPihZSi4-6_8p1dYNsvi23S8iQrQctyt-OIcvwA23uAST1XhLqhWD-PXANxU5xVLhwpUeuu4abd0-u3lzzKwKs/s320/20200124_084843.jpg" /></a>....parce que vivre ici représente bien davantage que entraînements et travail. Chaque fois que je viens ici, il me faut un temps pour me mettre en mode Laponie, comme si je devais m'adapter, m'ajuster sur un plan plus subtil à l'énergie de cet endroit. Non pas que je fasse moins de choses - je reste la même! mais j'arrive à sortir du mode "à fond", le must-do, la pression du temps et de l'agenda ultra serré. Il y a un sentiment de calme ici, de temps pour faire les choses que je trouve très différent de mon pays d'origine. Je ne sais pas si c'est vrai mais c'est ce que je ressens. Je trouve aussi que les gens sont bien moins dans ce mode de stress constant. Actifs, vifs, mais jamais pressés. C'est tellement agréable. Après ces quelques semaines passées ici, je sens que je suis prête pour ce qui est à ce jour une de mes plus grand défis. Même si Arctic 1000 me prend plus de temps que prévu, faire de mon mieux chaque jour, avancer, progresser quelles que soient les conditions, tout en restant en phase avec mon corps, la nature et les éléments qui m'entourent sont plus importants que tout. Et c'est probablement ce qui (je l'espère) me permettra de réussir et de parcourir toute la distance dans les meilleures conditions possibles.<br />

<h4>Aventure Aérienne</h4><br />
Mais pour l'instant .... la toute prochaine aventure qui nous attend Sparta, Nyx, Milwyn et moi, c'est le voyage en avion mercredi prochain .... Eh oui, comme prévu, les trois rentrent en Suisse pour la durée de l'expédition ... et le moyen le plus simple de les ramener était par avion. C'est une première pour nous tous et je me demande un peu comment cela se passera. Pourtant, comme je crois que s'inquiéter ne fait qu'attirer ce que nous ne voulons pas ... alors on verra bien! Ce sera intéressant en tous cas .. et une autre expérience ajoutée à notre catalogue des Striders Adventures!<br />
<br />
Après un très court séjour en Suisse, je serai de retour ici à Rovaniemi pour les toutes dernières semaines de préparation ...<br />
<br />
<h4>Prochaines nouvelles: tracking link!</h4><br />
Le départ sur Arctic 1000 aura lieu autour du 22 -23 février. Je n'aurai probablement pas le temps d'écrire beaucoup avant. Mes réseaux sociaux (Facebook et Instagram) sont tenus à jour presque quotidiennement. J'indiquerais ici le lien pour le suivi en direct - donc si vous avez envie de suivre l'aventure, revenez voir le blog!<br />

The trip went amazingly well, for all of us, especially for the pets and Ola. If it is quite stressful and relentless to travel with pets, everything worked out so smoothly...from the customs to the ferries commuting and the different stables we stopped at. Once again, I was impressed by the intelligence and wisdom of Sparta, Nyx. Milwyn and Ola. They just seem to get that we are on a long journey and really take it easy, curious of any new places we arrive. Ola felt at home whenever in the trailer, spending every day long hours in it, with impressive calm and ease... Only one overnight place caused her a great deal of stress, due to the stressful environment but she seemed to get that it was only temporary and even managed to lie down and get some rest overnight. </span></span></span><br />

<span data-offset-key="2ejl5-0-0"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "lato" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">How nice it was to arrive in Rovaniemi after that long journey! Once again, all 4 seem to understand quickly that we'd be staying there for a while. Ola settled in a new environment with impressive ease, quickly understanding the stable routine and getting acquainted with her new companions. She seems to like having her own box at night a while spending the day outside, whatever the weather conditions. I personally love the place! It's a small stable of 5 horses in Mäntyvaara, which is the trotting race area of Rovaniemi. And all these trotting horses give a brand new energy and motivation to my Iberian princess!</span></span></span></div>

There's even a garden so Milwyn can spend hours outside, when it's not too cold. And the river and forest are so close...while within walking distance of the city for practical purpose. A dream for what we've come here for!</span></span></span></div>

Right now, everywhere is covered with ice...the temperatures keep going up and down causing more ice... I've never seen so much ice on the roads! and had never been horse riding on pure ice before! It also means that conditions are hard for the dogs paws so they never stay too long outside. Nyx needed a coat as she got cold very quickly and even had ice on her claws once!!! Sparta is simply happy and comfy in this cold!</span></span></span></div>

<span data-offset-key="2ejl5-0-0"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "lato" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Le voyage s'est incroyablement bien passé, pour nous tous, en particulier pour nos animaux. Un si long voyage avec des animaux dont un cheval, est passablment stressant et surtout sans repos... mais tout s'est enchaîné avec facilité et aisance ... des douanes aux ferries en passant par les différentes écuries où nous nous sommes arrêtés. Une nouvelle fois, j'ai été impressionnée par l'intelligence et la sagesse dont font preuve Sparte, Nyx. Milwyn et Ola. Elles semblent parfaitement comprendre l'aventure dans laquelle elles sont embarquées et suivent le mouvement, curieuses de découvrir tout nouvel endroit où nous arrivons. Ola s'est sentie vraiment bien dans le van, y passant chaque jour de longues heures, et y remontant à chaque fois sans histoire...avec un calme et une facilité impressionnants ... Une seule écurie lui a causé beaucoup de stress, en raison de l'environnement stressant (champ de courses), mais elle a compris que ce n'était que temporaire et a fini par se calmer, parvenant même à se coucher et à se reposer pendant la nuit. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "lato" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Comme il a été agréable d'arriver à Rovaniemi après ce long voyage! Encore une fois, tous les 4 ont rapidement saisi que nous resterions là pendant un certain temps. Ola s'est adaptée à un nouvel environnement avec une facilité impressionnante, comprenant rapidement la routine de l'écurie et a fait connaissance avec ses nouveaux compagnons. Elle semble aimer avoir son boy individuel la nuit et passer la journée dehors, quelles que soient les conditions météorologiques. Perso, j'adore l'endroit! C'est une petite écurie de 5 chevaux à Mäntyvaara, qui est la zone des courses de trot de Rovaniemi. Et tous ces beaux trotteurs donnent une toute nouvelle énergie et motivation à ma princesse ibérique! La maisonnette, juste en dehors de la ville, que nous avons trouvée pour notre séjour avec le reste de l'équipe est également tout simplement parfait. Il y a même un jardin pour que Milwyn puisse passer des heures dehors, quand il ne fait pas trop froid. Et la rivière et la forêt sont si proches ... tout en étant à distance de marche de la ville , ce qui est extrêmement pratique. Un cadre idéal pour ce que nous sommes venus ici!</span></span></div>

Les conditions météorologiques sont cependant très étranges pour la saison - comme un peu ailleurs dans le monde ... Ces derniers temps tout était recouvert de glace ... les températures ne cessent de monter et descendre provoquant la formation d'épaisse couche de glace ... je n'ai jamais vu autant de glace sur les routes! et n'avais jamais fait monté à cheval sur de la glace pure auparavant! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
</span></span> <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Cela signifie également que les conditions sont difficiles pour les pattes des chiens, qui ne restent jamais trop longtemps à l'extérieur. Nyx a eu besoin d'un manteau car elle se refroidit très rapidement et a même eu de la glace sur ses griffes lors d'une sortie!!! Sparta est tout simplement heureuse et à l'aise dans ce froid! Je m'habitue gentiment à skier plusieurs heures d'affilée (oh mes muscles les premiers jours !!!) et j'essaie de m'entraîner tous les jours, parfois même deux fois, tout en prenant soin des animaux et d'Ola et en suivant mon travail habituel Il y a aussi beaucoup de petites choses à améliorer et à préparer, comme les outils de navigation ou pour l'équipement, ce qui me prend aussi pas mal de temps ... Donc les journées sont plutôt bien chargées ici!</span></span><br />

De telles conditions inhabituelles ont un impact important sur les animaux sauvages et semi-sauvages: la nourriture est plus dure trouver sous cette couche de glace ... Cela signifie par exemple que les éleveurs de rennes ont besoin de nourrir plus que d'habitude leurs troupeaux...</span></div>

<span data-reactroot="">So let me tell you that we've all been pretty busy so far! Here's what the Striders days look like lately: </span><br />

<h4>
<span data-reactroot="">Dealing with paperwork</span></h4>
<br />
<span data-reactroot="">The unsexy reality behind any adventure travel! Paperwork, customs documents and vet checks. </span><br />

<br />
<span data-reactroot="">A good thing done 👍😅 Now we're all set for our departure!</span><br />
<br />
<h4>
<span data-reactroot="">Training!</span></h4>
And by training, I mean more than "just" dragging the tyre...<br />
<br />
<span data-reactroot=""><span data-reactroot="">Going for the adventure we're planning for this winter requires... preparation and training! For my Striders to play as ONE team, they need to get used to be with each other often, in as many different situations as possible. It must be natural for Sparta, Nyx, Ola and Milwyn to hang around each other, do activities together and recognise each other as members of that team. So lately, we've been into prepping the travel routine. Getting ready for a 3'000km journey up North, all the way to Finland! </span></span><br />

<h4>
The Striders Adventures - let's talk about it</h4>
It's no point doing such expeditions if I stay hidden away. So lately, the focus has also been on social media, marketing, communication and presentation of the expedition. <br />
<br />
And to be totally honest, it's not the easiest part for me! If I can totally picture myself doing 1'000km on my own, going out there and talking about me and my project BEFORE it's done, really requires a lot of SISU from me! In a way, it's a bigger challenge than the expedition itself 😅<br />
<br />
Getting some <b>nice presentations</b> and an attractive movie trailer (soon visible on my youtube channel) ready take also time - even if the result is always so rewarding!<br />
<br />
If you want to be part of those who make the adventure possible while helping me support animal charities 💗: <br />
<br />

<br />
<h4>
<b>Because gear matters</b></h4>
<br />
Indeed, such a big adventure requires quite a bit of equipment... Contact with brands for the skis, pulka, and other large items, technical questions and issues, food, electronic devices, power banks, etc. For me, logistics is indeed part of the fun!<br />
<br />
I am now clear on most of the gear I will use during the exped. Which is a really good thing!!<br />
<br />
If I find the time, I'll write a post on that specific topic later on - because, there's a lot to say... <br />
<br />
<h4>
Maps drawing</h4>
<br />
That's the toughest bit. And an awesome one at the same time! Because it really allows me to imagine the tracks, the route, the distance, the terrain...all the conditions I will be facing over these 1'000 kilometers... Well...let me tell you, it won't be easy!<br />
<br />
I use 3 different programs and apps to draw the track.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><a href="http://excursionmap.fi/">excursionmap.fi</a></b></li>
<li><b>Inreach Garmin maps</b></li>
<li><b>Mapitare - a Scandinavian app with amazing maps for smartphones</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Plus I got some valuable help from my "Arctic" sister <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/rachel-fb-1000km-solo-arctic-expedition" target="_blank">Markéta</a> who finished the Lapland Extreme Challenge with her boyfriend in 2017. She's an amazing girl!!! and a very talented athlete!<br />

</ul>
<br />
<span data-reactroot="">Une bonne chose de faite en tous cas 👍😅 On est fin prêtes pour le départ de ce côté-là!</span><br />
<br />
<h4>
<span data-reactroot="">Entraînement!</span></h4>
Et par entraînement, j'entends un peu plus que tirer et traîner le pneu ...<br />
<br />
S'engager dans cette aventure nécessite ... préparation et entraînement! Pour que mes Striders soient comme UNE SEULE équipe, ils doivent s’habituer les uns aux autres souvent, dans autant de situations différentes que possible. Il doit être naturel pour Sparta, Nyx, Ola et Milwyn de se fréquenter, de faire des activités ensemble et de se reconnaître en tant que membres de cette équipe.<br />
<br />
Alors, depuis quelques semaines, nous entraînons les habitudes de voyage. Van, routine, matériel... tout pour que le voyage de 3'000 km dans le nord se déroule pour le mieux... jusqu'en Finlande!<br />
<br />

<h4>
The Striders Adventures - parlons-en!</h4>
Ce n'est pas la peine de faire de telles expéditions si c'est pour rester cachée, non? 😅. Ces derniers temps, l'accent a également été mis sur les médias sociaux, le marketing, la communication et la présentation de l'expédition au public.<br />
<br />
Pour être totalement honnête, ce n'est pas la partie la plus facile pour moi! Si je peux totalement me voir réussir ces 1 000 km seule en autonomie, parler de moi et de mon projet AVANT qu'il soit réussi, demande beaucoup de SISU de ma part! D'une certaine manière, c'est un plus grand défi que l'expédition elle-même..<br />
<br />
Préparer les présentations et une bande-annonce attrayante (bientôt visible sur ma chaîne youtube) prend du temps, même si le résultat est toujours aussi satisfaisant!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Si vous voulez faire partie de ceux qui rendent l'aventure possible tout en m'aidant à soutenir des œuvres de charité pour les animaux 💗</b>: </span><br />

<br />
<h4>
Côté matériel</h4>
<br />
Certes, une aventure de ce type nécessite pas mal d’équipement ... et donc de démarches et recherches. Contact avec des marques de skis, pulkas et autres pièces "majeurs", questions techniques, nourritures et autres fournitures, appareils électroniques, batteries externes, etc.<br />
<br />
Pour moi, la logistique fait partie du fun!<br />
<br />
Je suis maintenant au clair sur la plupart du matériel que je vais utiliser lors de l'expédition. Ce qui est déjà une bonne chose, non?!<br />
<br />
Si je trouve le temps, j'écrirai un article sur ce sujet plus tard - parce qu'il y a beaucoup à dire ...<br />
<br />
<h4>
Question de chemin</h4>
<br />
C'est le plus dur à faire. Et aussi le plus fun! Parce que cela me permet vraiment d’imaginer les pistes, le parcours, la distance, le terrain ... toutes les conditions auxquelles je vais me trouver confrontée sur ces 1 000 kilomètres ... eh bien ... laissez-moi vous dire que ça ne va pas être si simple!<br />
<br />
J'utilise 3 programmes et applications différents pour tracer mon itinéraire.<br />
<ul>
<li><b><a href="http://excursionmap.fi/">excursionmap.fi</a></b></li>
<li><b>Inreach Garmin maps</b></li>
<li><b>Mapitare - une app scandinave pour les smartphones</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
J'ai aussi eu la chance énorme d'avoir de l'aide de ma petite "soeur arctique" <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/rachel-fb-1000km-solo-arctic-expedition" target="_blank">Markéta</a> qui a terminée en 2017 le Lapland Extreme Challenge avec son ami. Une fille incroyable!!! et une athlète impressionnante!<br />

<b>The past week has been hard. Really hard.</b><br />
<br />
I failed at one of my major goals of the year. And it really hit me hard. Failure hurts. It's painful. It just makes you want to hide and die alone, somewhere, forgotten by the entire world!!<br />
<br />
Once more, my stomach forced me to stop in a competition. <i>For heaven's sake!! WTF? </i><br />
<br />
So I hid for a few days. Like a wounded warrior. I needed time for myself to digest what happened before I could talk about it. After all, I was supposed to be away for an entire week, so at least, let's use that time wisely...<br />
<br />
So I spent time in nature to heal my bruised ego and mind. I went back up the mountains, and ran, hiked and climbed. For miles and miles. Up and down. And again and again. More mountain passes, more mileage. The higher, the faster I could. I pushed and pushed my physical limits... <br />
<br />
Because I needed a proof that these stomach issues had nothing to do with my training, health or fitness level. I may not be a top athlete, but I still have what it takes.<br />
<br />
After a whole week of very intense sessions and serious thought, I'm back on track. Fresher and more motivated than ever. With far more clarity and better understanding of myself. <br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>I'm an adventurer. Not a racer.</b></h4>
<br />
Obviously I didn't do the 360k initially planned. But in the end, I did as much as I could in my own way: without assistance and on my own. The way I'm best at. And without any single stomach or digestion issues, whatever the effort intensity or temperature I placed myself in!<br />
<br />
Let's face it: I'm no good at handling people and race's pressure. I'm not the typical competitive athlete and will never be. It's just not for me. I've been trying and trying for years all the possible techniques and solutions to go over it. With some improvement... but at such a high cost! <br />
<br />
Once I read in Forbes magazine<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>"</b><b>Don't waste your time fixing your weaknesses. Focus on magnifying your strengths</b>.[..] </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"> </span><b><span style="color: blue;">Instead of trying to teach fish to climb, focus on making them better swimmers.</span>"</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I think it's high time I start applying this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFe6usALeHKhff1Q_RveVUQTeypW_IWJafjEQdN3IQwGpfQxLIF0zOctsXBzo8rJFlwoEXGkvJbi0rKDL8dJFI3UMUfACHXAVjAMgOYHG2u2SK2ZXF4U1kMY7CbPKQSQiC5orUKaPb7-oW/s1600/20190903_131250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFe6usALeHKhff1Q_RveVUQTeypW_IWJafjEQdN3IQwGpfQxLIF0zOctsXBzo8rJFlwoEXGkvJbi0rKDL8dJFI3UMUfACHXAVjAMgOYHG2u2SK2ZXF4U1kMY7CbPKQSQiC5orUKaPb7-oW/s640/20190903_131250.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<i><b>So what am I good at?</b></i> <i><b>What do I truly enjoy?</b></i> I'm good in solo adventure. I don't need assistance or other people to motivate me to do demanding efforts. I don't mind being on my own and can sleep anywhere in the wild. I like adventures and challenges in remote places with no marked trails. I like to go unsupported and being on "survival mode". I enjoy mountains and wide open spaces. I prefer colder temperatures to hot climates. I can do with very little comfort. I feel better outdoors than indoors. It's much easier and fun for me to spend 10 days of intense hiking on my own in the middle of nowhere than to run a 10k race with one thousand people!! And I truly enjoy the planning and upstream preparation of such projects.<br />
<br />
So instead of considering these as "flaws" and trying to change the hard way, why not consider these as qualities and strengths and make the most of them?<br />
<br />
<b>It means that I have to stop chasing after "known" references and credentials. </b>I must dare to be myself and pursue my dreams, my very own dreams, not fake or borrowed ones. That's what I should go for: setting up unusual and varied projects that really appeal to me and my values: independent, authentic and in sync with nature and animals! Projects that make me feel alive and inspire others..<br />
<br />
No more scattered energy. It's high time to focus on making these come true.<br />
<br />

<b>La semaine passée a été dure. Vraiment dure.</b><br />
<br />
J'ai échoué à l'un de mes objectifs majeurs de l'année. Et ça a fait vraiment mal. L'échec fait mal. C'est douloureux. Cela donne juste envie de se cacher et de se laisser mourir seul(e), quelque part, oublié(e) du monde entier !!<br />
<br />
Une fois de plus, mon estomac m'a forcé à stopper une compétition. Mais purée!!! <br />
<br />
Alors je me suis cachée pendant quelques jours. Comme un guerrier blessé. J'avais besoin de temps pour digérer ce qui s'était passé avant de pouvoir en parler. Après tout, je devais être absente une semaine entière, alors autant utiliser ce temps à bon escient ...<br />
<br />
J'ai donc passé du temps dans la nature pour soigner mon ego et mon esprit meurtris. Je suis repartie dans les montagnes et j'ai couru, marché et grimpé. J'ai avalé les kilomètres et les dénivelés. Encore et encore. Plus haut. Et le plus vite je pouvais. J'ai poussé et repoussé mes limites physiques ...<br />
<br />
Parce que j'avais besoin d'une preuve que ces problèmes d'estomac n'avaient rien à voir avec mon entraînement, ma santé ou ma condition physique. Je ne suis peut-être pas une athlète de haut niveau, mais je ne suis pas si pourrie!<br />
<br />
Après une semaine de sorties intenses et de remise en question, je suis de retour sur les rails. Plus fraîche et plus motivée que jamais. Avec une nouvelle clarté et une meilleure compréhension de moi-même.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Aventurière. Pas Traileuse.</b></h4>
<br />
Bon, je n'ai pas fait les 360km initialement prévus. Mais au final, j'ai fait autant de kilomètres que possible à ma manière: sans assistance et en autonomie. Là où je donne le meilleur de moi-même. Et sans aucun problème d'estomac ou de digestion, quelles que soient l'intensité de l'effort ou la température extérieure!<br />
<br />
<b>Regardons les choses en face</b>: je ne suis pas douée pour gérer les conditions de course. Je ne suis pas une athlète type et ne le serai jamais. Ce n'est juste pas pour moi. J'ai essayé encore et encore depuis plusieurs années toutes les techniques et solutions possibles pour surmonter et mieux gérer ce stress . Avec quelques améliorations certes ... mais à quel prix!<br />
<br />
J'ai lu une fois dans le Forbes Magazine:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>"Ne perdez pas votre temps à compenser vos faiblesses. Concentrez-vous sur le renforcement de vos forces. [..] Au lieu d’essayer d’apprendre aux poissons à grimper, concentrez-vous à les rendre meilleurs nageurs. ".</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"></span><br />
Je pense qu'il est grand temps que je commence à y appliquer.<br />
<br />

<i><b>Alors, en quoi suis-je douée? Qu'est-ce que j'aime faire le plus?</b></i> Les aventures en solo. Je n'ai pas besoin d'assistance ni d'autres personnes pour me motiver à faire des efforts exigeants. Cela ne me dérange pas d'être seule et je peux dormir n'importe où en pleine nature. J'aime les aventures et les défis dans des endroits éloignés hors des sentiers balisés. J'aime être en autonomie et en "mode survie". J'aime les montagnes et les grands espaces. Je préfère les températures plus froides aux climats chauds. Je peux faire avec très peu de confort. Je me sens mieux à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur. C'est beaucoup plus facile et amusant pour moi de passer 10 jours de randonnée intense au milieu de nulle part que de courir une course de 10 km avec un millier de personnes !! Et j'apprécie beaucoup la planification et la préparation en amont de tels projets.<br />
<br />
Ainsi, au lieu de considérer ces traits-là comme des "défauts" et d’essayer de changer radicalement, pourquoi ne pas les considérer comme des qualités et des atouts et en tirer le meilleur parti?<br />
<br />
<b>Cela signifie que je dois cesser de courir après les références connues et les titres</b>. Je dois oser être moi-même et poursuivre mes rêves, mes propres rêves, pas de faux rêves ou empruntés à d'autres. Voilà où je dois mettre mon énergie: dans la création et mise sur pied de projets inhabituels et variés qui me plaisent vraiment et qui me correspondent: indépendance, authenticité et en phase avec la nature et les animaux! Des projets qui me font me sentir vivante tout en inspirant les autres ..<br />
<br />
J'arrête de me disperser. Au travail!<br />

<h3>
The Striders Adventures - Scouting trip to Scandinavia</h3>
<br />
I can hardly believe that I was away for a whole month! It went on so nicely and smoothly that it truly didn't feel like a long time at all. Quite the opposite to be totally honest. If you're following me for a while, you know my soft spot for these northern countries and it's true that the further North I go, the better!<br />
<br />
Obviously, summarising some 4 weeks of travel would be lengthy and tedious... I'd rather come back on some specific topics later on. Today I wanted to give you an overview of what our trip looked like 😉<br />
<br />
<h4>
Some facts and data</h4>

<b>5 countries</b> crossed or travelled<br />
<b>19 days in Finnish Lapland</b><br />
15 days spent checking the Lapland Extreme Challenge waypoints and areas.<br />
20 days of travel alone with the fur tribe, 10 days with hubby Marc<br />
<b>30 different bivy spots</b> - so exciting!<br />
Nearly <b>9'000km travelled</b>, and a good deal on gravel and dirt roads!<br />
Some <b>300km on foot</b> only for Arctic 1000 waypoints and further checks purposes.<br />
<br />
LOADS of <b>reindeers</b> on the road!!<br />
LOADS of <b>mosquitoes</b> inland and nearby any water spots!!! and probably as many bites on my legs! 😂 <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Midnight sun!!</b> this is just mind-blowing! I had so much energy during that whole month! Another topic I could write on 😁<br />
<br />
The <b>northernmost place</b> we went to was <span style="color: blue;">Inari and its famous lake</span> - known as the cleanest and clearest of Finland's large lakes. I will definitely write on this in a future post. This area is so...impressive and captivating.<br />
<br />

I'm always impressed by their ability to travel and adapt to any new place we visit.<br />
<br />
2 years went by since <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_21.html" target="_blank">Milwyn</a> had her sad accident. And she's clearly totally back to normal, so curious and willing to discover any new spot we got to! Thanks to her new GPS tracker, it's easy to keep track of her all the time she's out exploring. No more useless anxiety and waiting hours for her to come out of an unlikely hideout under the brambles!<br />
<br />
The only thing they didn't really appreciate especially in the evening - like anyone actually! were the midges and other tiny biting insects that get under the skin and really annoy them. Milwyn seemed pretty good at staying away from them and got only a few odd bites; Sparta found some tricks to keep safe as she wasn't too keen on sprays and other products, while Nyx clearly opted for the anti-mosquito spray and citronella solutions! <br />
<br />
And as usual, people we met just couldn't help but love them. How could it be otherwise, anyway? 😉 <br />

<br />
And the answer is yes, a big large powerful YES!!! I'm truly glad to have decided to go all the way up there.<br />
<br />
If the whole trip has been a success, having been able to see what the different areas look like, what I will be facing, the wilderness areas, the potential refill and supply points and closest habitations along the way, not mentioning the contacts I made up there, this is all clearly priceless!<br />
<br />
A common comment I got is that it all looks so different in winter - how can that trip help?. And yes, for sure, it does! Yet, many of the things I wanted to check remain the same. It was less about checking the route itself, as most of it doesn't even exist in summer, than getting my bearings in this vast territory. <br />
<br />
If there's for sure a huge amount of work waiting for me now, I have a clearer idea of what to expect and can start planning accordingly. And then of course...<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
it's going to be a fantastic Adventure! That's the whole point of it all, isn't it? </h4>

<div style="text-align: left;">
J'ai peine à croire que j'étais loin pendant tout un mois! Tout s'est tellement bien passé que cela ne m'a absolument pas semblé être le cas. Bien au contraire, pour être totalement honnête. Si vous me suivez pendant un moment, vous connaissez mon point faible pour ces pays nordiques -- et plus c'est au Nord, mieux c'est!<br />
<br />
Évidemment, résumer quelques 4 semaines de voyage serait long et fastidieux ... Je préfère revenir sur des sujets spécifiques plus tard. Aujourd'hui, je voulais vous donner un aperçu général de notre voyage.<i><br />

<b>5 pays</b> traversés ou visités<br />
<b>19 jours en Laponie finlandaise</b><br />
15 jours passés sur le traces du Lapland Extreme Challenge <br />
20 jours de voyage seule avec mes poilus, 10 jours avec mon Marc. <br />
<b>30 bivouacs et lieux de campements différents</b> - fabuleux!<br />
Près de <b>9'000km voyagés</b>, et beaucoup sur les pistes de terre et graviers!<br />
Près de <b>300km à pied</b> juste pour les repérages pour Arctic 1000 entre waypoints et autres.<br />
<br />
PLEIN de rennes sur les routes!!<br />
DES TAS de moustiques dans les terres et à l'approche de toute zone humide!!! et certainement tout autant de piqûres sur mes jambes! 😂 <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Le soleil de minuit!!</b> c'est simplement magique! J'ai eu tellement d'énergie pendant tout ce mois! Un autre sujet sur lequel je pourrais m'étendre 😁<br />
<br />
Le lieu <b>le plus au nord</b> où nous sommes allés était <span style="color: blue;"><b>Inari et son célèbre lac</b></span>, connu comme le plus propre et le plus clair des grands lacs de Finlande. J'écrirai certainement à ce sujet dans un prochain article. Cette région est tellement ... impressionnante et captivante.<br />

<h4>
Le voyage dans la peau</h4>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVPP8fKpbQjwXEawx7RV2KGUFkOjjesMhcq0TZo2GABCVpoKNAYnQLSDZNHvg2AEkXy-XmExewIDlwAoyk9hSKMvXyw9OlnjXuIX_j1pWt1TKyu7K3wu9vsTIB3vAyEd2ZJzxPFZLASLuj/s1600/20190612_054645.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVPP8fKpbQjwXEawx7RV2KGUFkOjjesMhcq0TZo2GABCVpoKNAYnQLSDZNHvg2AEkXy-XmExewIDlwAoyk9hSKMvXyw9OlnjXuIX_j1pWt1TKyu7K3wu9vsTIB3vAyEd2ZJzxPFZLASLuj/s320/20190612_054645.jpg" width="180" /></a>Milwyn , Sparta and Nyx ont juste été incroyables, comme à leur habitude. Je suis toujours ébahie par leur capacité à voyager et à s'adapter à tous les nouveaux endroits que nous visitons. <br />
<br />
2 ans se sont écoulés depuis que <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_21.html" target="_blank">Milwyn</a> a eu son triste accident. Et elle est clairement totalement remise, à nouveau tellement curieuse et désireuse de découvrir tout nouveau lieu où nous nous arrêtons! Grâce à son nouveau système de suivi GPS, il est facile de la suivre durant ses explorations. Fini les cheveux blancs et les heures à attendre qu'elle digne sortir d'une planque improbable sous les ronces! <br />
<br />
La seule chose qu'elles n'appréciaient pas, en particulier le soir - comme n'importe qui en fait! étaient les moustiques et autres insectes qui pénètrent sous la peau et sont vraiment pénibles. Milwyn semblait assez douée pour les éviter et n'a eu que quelques piqûres; Sparta a trouvé quelques astuces pour se cacher car pas très inspirée par les sprays et autres produits, tandis que Nyx a clairement opté pour la solution spray anti-moustiques et citronnelle!<br />
<br />
<br />
Et comme d'habitude, les gens que nous avons rencontrés se sont tous laissés charmés par ces 3 petites. Comment pourrait-il en être autrement, de toute façon?😉 <br />

<br />
Et la réponse est oui, un immense et énorme OUI!!! Je suis vraiment heureuse d'avoir pris la décision de faire la route pour voir sur le terrain.<br />
<br />
Si tout le voyage a été un succès, après avoir pu voir à quoi ressemblent les différentes régions, ce qui m'attend, les zones totalement sauvages, les points de ravitaillement potentiels et les habitations les plus proches tout au long du parcours, sans mentionner les contacts que j'ai fait là-bas, tout cela est clairement inestimable!<br />
<br />
Un commentaire qu'on me fait fréquemment est que, comme tout est si différent en hiver - en quoi ce voyage peut-il aider? Oui, c'est sûr! L'hiver, tout change. Pourtant, beaucoup de choses que je voulais vérifier restent les mêmes. Il s'agissait moins de repérer l'itinéraire en lui-même, car la plupart des routes n'existe même pas en été, que de trouver mes marques dans ces territoires immenses.<br />
<br />
<br />
S'il y a certes beaucoup de travail qui m'attend maintenant, j'ai une idée bien plus précise de ce à quoi m'attendre et je peux commencer à planifier en conséquence. Et puis ensuite ...<br />

Just back from a month on the roads and trails of Scandinavia for my next Arctic 1000 expedition, and already so much has been happening in the past weeks! - for my greatest pleasure!<br />
<br />
Early August, I was invited to give a presentation at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RancMrcina/" target="_blank">Mrcina Ranch</a> in <a href="https://www.slovenia.info/en/places-to-go/regions/alpine-slovenia/bohinj" target="_blank">Bohinj, Slovenia</a> as part of their summer evenings. An interested and friendly audience, the legendary Slovenian hospitality and superb hikes made it a weekend full of encounters and adventures!<br />

<h4>
Bohinj, two years after</h4>
<br />
I came in Slovenia back in 2017 during my <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2017/06/hidden-slovenia-2017.html" target="_blank">Hidden Slovenia</a> trip with Ola, Sparta, Nyx and Milwyn. Robi and Nežka had welcomed my tribe in their ranch for more than a week or so. Bled and Bohinj in the Triglav National Park, are two of the most beautiful areas in the country, with amazing landscapes, stunning scenery and mileage of hiking trails! <br />
<br />
It is therefore with great pleasure that I accepted the proposal of Robi and my Slovenian friend Renata to give a presentation during the summer events organised at the ranch. Giving conferences abroad ... one of my dreams, and a first for the Mrcina Ranch which until then had only invited Slovenian speakers!<br />

Adventure on the doorstep</h4>

But my little Slovenian break, initially meant to be a relaxing and refreshing week-end turned out to be far more active and intense than planned! Starting with the multiple delays of the airlines that earned me a night in a beautiful hotel in Frankfurt, all expenses paid (!) And a very belated arrival in Ljubjana.<br />
<br />
Then, shortly after landing that Saturday, my Slovenian friends, always so motivated to take me on a new discovering tour of their country, embarked me for a nice climb on a local mountain. A beautiful hike! But clearly, the tone was given: it will not be the relaxing weekend imagined 😅 I'm probably not a right fit for that!<br />
<br />
And the next day, on Sunday, after a great evening and short night in the straw, we set off again, for another superb yet demanding hike that took us on the ridges in the Triglav National Park. Splendid views, breathtaking scenery. What a fantastic day! With a ride back to the valley in Pinzgauer, improvised at the last minute by friends working in this area - just for fun! let me tell you, Life is really an Adventure!<br />

<br />
I gave my presentation on Saturday evening. Matjaž, who owns a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/printam.si/" target="_blank">print shop in Ljubjana</a>, had printed the posters for me 😊. The ranch, which operates at full speed during the summer season, offers tours for tourists and locals, on their Icelandic horses and ponies. So we had a good chance to get some tourists in the audience that night ... <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFLwmCtA_cWxRYmP8DlVWD68M_4QO4KZvsr9jrVcRLudCj79aU1amSODp_iUJUafkM-YNn8aw6d0uLqXXOsqoyftD7j4mMzOeQ_TmYufmUfkgkilRMQtTC8FUDWarhWnOza2L7jucae7PR/s1600/20190803_195718.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFLwmCtA_cWxRYmP8DlVWD68M_4QO4KZvsr9jrVcRLudCj79aU1amSODp_iUJUafkM-YNn8aw6d0uLqXXOsqoyftD7j4mMzOeQ_TmYufmUfkgkilRMQtTC8FUDWarhWnOza2L7jucae7PR/s320/20190803_195718.jpg" width="180" /></a> The only conference I had given outdoors was in Courmayeur in 2012 after the <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/p/alptrekking-2010.html" target="_blank">Alptrekking</a>. And in Italian (!). But I loved it. That evening, in Bohjni, in the welcoming and natural setting of the ranch, with the horses in the background, I found myself again in this particular atmosphere of talking outdoors. The audience was there, despite the fact that the talk was in English - and contrary to our assumptions, it was 100% Slovenian! I had a blast sharing a bit of my life as an Adventurer - and to believe the feedback and participation of people, the fun was shared! The fact that in this part of Slovenia, locals have a very good knowledge of mountains and nature made it even more interesting. I have certainly learned as much - if not more! from them.<br />
<br />
And like any decent evening in Slovenia, it ended well, and late at night 😉<br />
<br />
<h4>
A matter of passion</h4>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2zgUyGaNOsJdhP0PECmBWsFpTtBI3JlVZ9M2UntO0yqO6J9hBhW73TtrKFP8YtmN4LyBykDCRjHF2r0DT_n8s0qvLC9wMUMzyOTD7A5HFKYbASefJEmjV0fgADBFnVmj0L-RLeRL00hW/s1600/20190804_083058.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2zgUyGaNOsJdhP0PECmBWsFpTtBI3JlVZ9M2UntO0yqO6J9hBhW73TtrKFP8YtmN4LyBykDCRjHF2r0DT_n8s0qvLC9wMUMzyOTD7A5HFKYbASefJEmjV0fgADBFnVmj0L-RLeRL00hW/s320/20190804_083058.jpg" width="180" /></a>What I find most enriching in my travels and other adventures, are the meetings with other enthusiasts of all types, from all walks of life. Each time, it allows me to discover a small piece of another universe.<br />
<br />
Robi, for example, is part of the <a href="http://www.grzs.si/" target="_blank">Mountain Rescue Association</a> in Triglav National Park. A volunteer-based organisation whose members train like pros, have a level of preparation worthy of mountain guides and are subject to many "on call" hours, on top of their daily jobs. But he speaks with such energy and conviction that his passion for this "hobby", as he says (!) is contagious. And the subject is truly exciting, especially for someone like me who loves adventure, nature and the mountains.😍<br />
<br />
I also met the lovely Katja, an animal lover who runs a pet shop called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mica.bohinj/?__tn__=kC-R&eid=ARBHujy6sIOUIikxlzP0waLqA2BSIR4X3oR6uylJ-mKjhvCiXhBwImiA6CbbK8LJfkumpWjCUjst-PEv&hc_ref=ARQFn_AAHqKlGLhXZ-hFkX_Puna7MQfQAmfEDruToExilB0B3O-hsxVcJ_EMyoULkcg&__xts__[0]=68.ARArQ-pQxNjlrstj5Pb3QQ5WZnr6sdDSd8hxdhBd1-GmdNDOF2cdIWMilocPT3wYXdHrqKnzTqzar5l6ZlLITWOeSWQosphNtWSxgAQoX3jiBcwtGb0IgqHgHVQ3DQz3HMz4WeqHeECklEhvOqtq71xb-Xs78Mpg1CWF2NZWuI_BhnMPlcXpRm1FC67I9gU40ycA2ybXkq1kDC-2ftVdvupzl_i05IEcdMhF9bk_CoEfAkqpY0WE8d1R6h5t_jfTJUrbUv2O-DEO04ahPo3b6R_xSVGyGbwu0EiwKhxmbdwYerrtoMnaGiQ8tOakc7DN9CFcyHX3cd8B2f8wJQtu-8Q" target="_blank">Mica</a> in the Studor hamlet. It was very interesting to have her point of view on animal products, particularly in terms of nutrition, the over-marketing of certain products, the current trends, and so on. On Sunday after my conference, she came at the ranch with a bag full of treats for Sparta, Milwyn and Nyx !! Really sweet, I tell you!<br />
<br />
And to finish with my brief Slovenian trip, I had plenty of time to sate my passion for airports with multiple delays on return flights.😅 To this extent, it was so insanly ridiculous and unusual that I ended up finding it comical! And after all, it gave me all I needed to conclude this post! <br />
<br />
Let's keep walking on the bright side of life 😉<br />

Début août, j'ai été invitée à donner une présentation au <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.facebook.com/RancMrcina/" href="https://www.facebook.com/RancMrcina/" target="_blank">Ranch Mrcina</a> à <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.slovenia.info/fr/destinations/regions-touristiques/slovenie-alpine/bohinj" href="https://www.slovenia.info/fr/destinations/regions-touristiques/slovenie-alpine/bohinj" target="_blank">Bohinj, Slovénie</a> dans le cadre de leurs soirées estivales. Public intéressé et chaleureux, hospitalité slovène et superbes randonnées pour un week-end riches en rencontres et aventures!<br />

<h4>
Bohinj, deux ans après</h4>
<br />
Mon dernier voyage en Slovénie, <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2017/06/hidden-slovenia-2017.html" target="_blank">Hidden Slovenia</a>, remonte à 2017 où j'y avais passé un mois avec Sparta, Nyx, Ola et Milwyn. Robi et Nežka nous avaient accueillies et hébergées dans leur ranch pendant une dizaine de jours. La région de Bled et de Bohinj, au pied des Alpes Juliennes et du Triglav est une des plus belles du pays, avec des paysages grandioses et des kilomètres de sentiers!<br />
<br />
C'est donc avec un immense plaisir que j'ai accepté la proposition de Robi et de mon amie slovène Renata de venir donner une présentation durant les soirées estivales organisées. Donner des conférences à l'étranger...un de mes rêves, et une première pour le Ranch Mrcina qui jusque là n'avait proposé que des conférenciers slovènes!<br />
<br />

<h4>
Week-end sous le signe de l'Aventure</h4>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4j7BEsWHBQSOv4UhxTUXMqEiwn5UVnRp1pyOZ5J1K9Mg7APvKRoeopgJXZtEbDPzndbtBKeywQzHMAcjDNEZGW89Je2uwr4Yhh4g_SxV4CddU2uovHlB2akm_QuRE_lLWdWz0k91kOVfC/s1600/20190803_134821.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4j7BEsWHBQSOv4UhxTUXMqEiwn5UVnRp1pyOZ5J1K9Mg7APvKRoeopgJXZtEbDPzndbtBKeywQzHMAcjDNEZGW89Je2uwr4Yhh4g_SxV4CddU2uovHlB2akm_QuRE_lLWdWz0k91kOVfC/s320/20190803_134821.jpg" width="180" /></a>J'imagine que cela ne vous étonne qu'à moitié... Mais ce petit week-end qui se devait d'être un break rafraîchissant a été plutôt été du type intense et sportif! A commencer par les retards multiples des compagnies aériennes qui m'ont valu une nuit dans un bel hôtel de Frankfort, tous frais payés (!) et une arrivée joliment décalée à Ljubjana. <br />
<br />
Ensuite, à peine débarquée ce samedi-là, mes amis slovènes, toujours aussi motivés à me faire découvrir leur pays, m'ont embarqué sur une première jolie grimpette sur un sommet local. Juste magnifique. Mais clairement, le ton était donné: ce ne sera pas le week-end de détente imaginé 😅 Sûrement que je ne suis pas faite pour ça!<br />
<br />
Et le lendemain, dimanche, après une superbe soirée et courte nuit dans la paille, on remettait ça, pour un superbe et exigeant tour qui nous a amené sur les crêtes dans le Parc National du Triglav. Vues splendides, paysages à couper le souffle. Juste grandiose! Avec un retour en Pinzgauer, improvisé à la dernière minute par des amis travaillant dans cette zone - just for fun! Je vous dis, la Vie est une vraie Aventure!<br />

<br />
Le samedi soir a eu lieu ma présentation. Matjaž, qui a une <a href="https://www.facebook.com/printam.si/" target="_blank">entreprise d'impression</a>, s'était chargé d'imprimer mes affiches 😊. Le ranch qui fonctionne a plein régime durant la saison estivale, propose des tours pour touristes et locaux, sur leurs chevaux et poneys islandais. Donc la chance d'avoir quelques touristes dans le public ce soir-là... <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFLwmCtA_cWxRYmP8DlVWD68M_4QO4KZvsr9jrVcRLudCj79aU1amSODp_iUJUafkM-YNn8aw6d0uLqXXOsqoyftD7j4mMzOeQ_TmYufmUfkgkilRMQtTC8FUDWarhWnOza2L7jucae7PR/s1600/20190803_195718.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFLwmCtA_cWxRYmP8DlVWD68M_4QO4KZvsr9jrVcRLudCj79aU1amSODp_iUJUafkM-YNn8aw6d0uLqXXOsqoyftD7j4mMzOeQ_TmYufmUfkgkilRMQtTC8FUDWarhWnOza2L7jucae7PR/s320/20190803_195718.jpg" width="180" /></a>La seule conférence que j'avais donnée en plein air était à Courmayeur en 2012 suite à l'<a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/p/alptrekking-2010.html" target="_blank">Alptrekking</a>. Et en italien (!). Mais j'avais adoré. Ce soir-là, à Bohjni, dans le cadre accueillant et si nature du ranch, avec les chevaux en arrière-plan, je me suis à nouveau retrouvée dans cette ambiance si particulière de parler en extérieur. Le public était au rendez-vous, malgré le fait que la conférence soit en anglais - et contrairement à nos suppositions, il était à 100% slovénien! J'ai eu un plaisir fou à partager un peu de ma vie d'aventurière - et à en croire le retour et la participation des gens, le plaisir a été partagé! C'était d'autant plus intéressant que, dans cette région de Slovénie, les locaux connaissent très bien la montagne et j'en ai certainement appris tout autant - voire plus! de leur part. <br />
<br />
Et comme toute soirée en Slovénie digne de ce nom, elle s'est bien terminée, et tard dans la nuit 😉<br />
<br />
<h4>
Question de passions</h4>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2zgUyGaNOsJdhP0PECmBWsFpTtBI3JlVZ9M2UntO0yqO6J9hBhW73TtrKFP8YtmN4LyBykDCRjHF2r0DT_n8s0qvLC9wMUMzyOTD7A5HFKYbASefJEmjV0fgADBFnVmj0L-RLeRL00hW/s1600/20190804_083058.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2zgUyGaNOsJdhP0PECmBWsFpTtBI3JlVZ9M2UntO0yqO6J9hBhW73TtrKFP8YtmN4LyBykDCRjHF2r0DT_n8s0qvLC9wMUMzyOTD7A5HFKYbASefJEmjV0fgADBFnVmj0L-RLeRL00hW/s320/20190804_083058.jpg" width="180" /></a>Ce que je trouve le plus enrichissant dans mes voyages et autres aventures, ce sont les rencontres avec d'autres passionnés de tous types, de tous horizons. A chaque fois, cela me permet de découvrir un petit bout d'un autre univers.<br />
Robi, par exemple, fait partie de la <a href="http://www.grzs.si/" target="_blank">colonne de secours</a> dans le Parc national du Triglav. Une organisation entièrement bénèvole dont les membres s'entraînent comme des pros, ont un niveau de préparation digne des guides de montagne et sont soumis à de nombreuses heures de piquet, en dehors de leurs heures de travail "classique". Mais il en parle avec une telle énergie et conviction que sa passion pour ce "hobby", comme il le dit (!) est contagieuse. Et le sujet est passionnant, d'autant plus pour quelqu'un qui aime la nature, l'aventure et la montagne. 😍<br />
<br />
J'ai aussi rencontré l'adorable Katja, une passionnée d'animaux et qui tient une boutique pour animaux <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mica.bohinj/?__tn__=kC-R&eid=ARBHujy6sIOUIikxlzP0waLqA2BSIR4X3oR6uylJ-mKjhvCiXhBwImiA6CbbK8LJfkumpWjCUjst-PEv&hc_ref=ARQFn_AAHqKlGLhXZ-hFkX_Puna7MQfQAmfEDruToExilB0B3O-hsxVcJ_EMyoULkcg&__xts__[0]=68.ARArQ-pQxNjlrstj5Pb3QQ5WZnr6sdDSd8hxdhBd1-GmdNDOF2cdIWMilocPT3wYXdHrqKnzTqzar5l6ZlLITWOeSWQosphNtWSxgAQoX3jiBcwtGb0IgqHgHVQ3DQz3HMz4WeqHeECklEhvOqtq71xb-Xs78Mpg1CWF2NZWuI_BhnMPlcXpRm1FC67I9gU40ycA2ybXkq1kDC-2ftVdvupzl_i05IEcdMhF9bk_CoEfAkqpY0WE8d1R6h5t_jfTJUrbUv2O-DEO04ahPo3b6R_xSVGyGbwu0EiwKhxmbdwYerrtoMnaGiQ8tOakc7DN9CFcyHX3cd8B2f8wJQtu-8Q" target="_blank">Mica</a> dans le hameau de Studor. C'était très intéressant d'avoir son point de vue sur les produits pour animaux, notamment en matière de nutrition, la commercialisation à outrance de certains produits, les tendances du moment, etc. Le dimanche après ma conférence, elle a débarqué au ranch avec un sac plein de cadeaux pour Sparta, Milwyn et Nyx!! Vraiment chou, je vous dis!<br />
<br />
Et pour terminer ma brève excursion slovène, j'ai eu le temps d'assouvir ma passion pour les aéroports avec encore de multiples retards sur les vols retour. 😅 A ce point-là, c'était tellement hallucinant et inhabituel que j'ai fini par trouver cela comique! Après tout, cela me donnait de la matière pour conclure ce post!<br />
<br />
Histoire de prendre la vie du bon côté 😉<br />

<br />
For a change, this week's post is not purely about outdoors, sport or travel. I guess that after my <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2019/03/rovaniemi-300-race-with-sisu-une-course.html" target="_blank">recent trip to Finland</a>, the intensity of the past few weeks on a personal level, adding up to the dullest and weirdest March weather ever, Mercury retrograde (!) and global climate concerns, I felt the need to take a step back, take stock and pay closer attention to my surroundings. <br />
<br />
I noticed that, if I often mention my two fellow pups Sparta and Nyx and the now famous Milwyn, I more rarely speak about Ola, my beautiful Iberian mare. And yet, my relationship with her is no less than another fantastic story that I wanted to share with you today.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Love at first sight</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I first saw her, she was something like 6 years old. I was at my sister's stable, paying a visit to her horses when I spotted this splendid and elegant, almost feline horse. She really looked stunning and couldn't help but ask my sister about her. It turned out she was THE leader horse of one of the very talented rider in the stable. Ola. Definitely not for sale and I wasn't looking for a horse at all anyway! But if I ever had a horse again, I wish he/she would look this one! </div>
<br />
So imagine my surprise when a couple of years later, I got this phone call from my sister telling me that Ola was for sale. How come? Well, she no longer corresponded to the needs of her owner - who was now teaching horse-riding to younger kids and beginners and she had decided to find a better place for this stunning mare. <br />
<br />
I resisted. It was definitely not the perfect timing for me. We just bought a new house, I was short in cash and above all, had tons of trips and business projects in mind. So how could I fit her in my busy schedule? And how would I cope with the costs of owning such a horse? Shortly after, I learnt that she got sold. End of the story, I thought, better this way...<br />
<br />
But...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;"><i>What is yours does not go past you</i></span></b></div>
<br />
It actually didn't work and no less than a few months later she was back to her previous owner. I gave in and decided to go and see her "just to see". And it took me less than 10 minutes before I made my mind. No one can resist than horse. I saw her and I knew, She was my horse and I was her person. It was that simple.<br />
<br />
Or nearly...<br />
<br />

<h3>
A match made in heaven </h3>
....but not after some serious ups and downs!<br />
<br />
Because, if we immediately get on, it didn't mean that this beautiful panther with her dark-braun shiny coat would turn into a gentle house cat overnight. It really took both a us many tries, rides, adventures and misadventures before I finally "got" her and she truly trusted me.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifaRReyVkeonTyfAFHfDFs7io4j8Br91XuHz1oSPtLzjyqWlmjdYwS_OH8CGaQL3HqPCRpDnnJRmrbmGan4eG8WwIJky0JB85D75yqRSdVSTXYlbZBhKu9xJ8X7vpLI8KnCLbJjYa8PSOv/s1600/20190104_162053.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifaRReyVkeonTyfAFHfDFs7io4j8Br91XuHz1oSPtLzjyqWlmjdYwS_OH8CGaQL3HqPCRpDnnJRmrbmGan4eG8WwIJky0JB85D75yqRSdVSTXYlbZBhKu9xJ8X7vpLI8KnCLbJjYa8PSOv/s320/20190104_162053.jpg" width="240" /></a>Horses are known to be amazing teachers and very sensitive beings. Some would cope with some disagreement, some are nicer and more tolerant than others, some are really good boys and amazingly patient with their heavy-handed or clumsy rider. Ola never made any compromise and never put up with any discomfort. Indeed she didn't made my life easy! But the bond was there and I knew that sooner or later, I would crack the code and have this mutual understanding I was looking for. <br />
<br />
To understand and ride her well, I had to question myself:<br />
<br />
I had to re-think my way of riding - forget any strict dressage rules, any imposed action or coercion. I got deeper in my knowledge and understanding of horse behaviours and natural horsemanship. I stop using a bit and loosened up. She really asked me to trust her and stop controlling her... Not that easy for a control-freak who also used to be a classic dressage rider!!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbZbU536y8l5wKDTEkC59ZtzaI1gFyRsoGNcX0e2WBw2KUCE-VnYGN-ixaHMPB4_qLo1ZxtHIFsmodNQzKZG1UDilFQW9wvPdnyJ9o7eNhphgYJuJpHbQmlOU5bZj3ivQSHsYFR3hEkDDj/s1600/20170708_083710.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbZbU536y8l5wKDTEkC59ZtzaI1gFyRsoGNcX0e2WBw2KUCE-VnYGN-ixaHMPB4_qLo1ZxtHIFsmodNQzKZG1UDilFQW9wvPdnyJ9o7eNhphgYJuJpHbQmlOU5bZj3ivQSHsYFR3hEkDDj/s320/20170708_083710.jpg" width="240" /></a>I questioned my way of being and thinking. I noticed that every time I was off, upset, unwell or in a bad day. it was useless to try and ride her. She was mirroring my exact inner state. And you cannot lie to a horse! as they pick on the energy, the vibrations you emanate, whatever happy face mask you put on! So she helped me pay closer attention to my actual feelings, stop lying to myself and be more aware of what I was projecting. And she was totally right: I am no good leader and could even be a danger to the clan when I'm not present enough and off my natural inner balance. I can't be trusted. And as horses are prey animals, it makes perfect sense!<br />
<br />
Little by little, as I learnt and became aware of all this, her behaviour changed. She became less spooky, less defensive, more joyful and generally-sepaking much calmer. As she's really fast, agile, got a strong personality and can get pretty hot sometimes, we are a perfect match! She loves discovering new places, enjoys the company of Sparta, Nyx and even Milwyn. I take her walking or running the same way I take the dogs. She never minds traveling but she hates routine and gets easily bored. Hum! I told you: this horse was meant to join the Striders tribe!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Nowadays our relationship is really a pure pleasure, based on <b>mutual respect and trust</b>. Ola is not one you tame. She cannot be changed. She is herself at 100% without making any compromise, ever. She needs to feel free, good, safe, trusted and respected. In exchange she gives me - and the few who can see that in her - everything, her unconditional trust and loyalty, her friendship and kindness; she shares with me her wisdom and understanding of life and the natural course of things. With her, I never stop learning and growing.<br />
<br />
This horse is my wisest friend and most humble and extraordiary teacher. I love her so much, unconditionally, and I am truly grateful for having her by my side.<br />
<br />

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="Version française">Version française</a></h3>
<br />
Pour une fois, l'article de cette semaine ne concerne pas directement les activités de plein air, le sport ou les voyages. Je suppose qu'après <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2019/03/rovaniemi-300-race-with-sisu-une-course.html" target="_blank">mon récent voyage en Finlande</a>, l'intensité de ces dernières semaines sur le plan personnel, s'ajoutant au temps le plus mausssade et étrange qui soit au mois de mars, à Mercure en phase rétrograde (!) et à l'actualité mondiale autour du climat, j'ai eu besoin de prendre un peu de recul et de prendre un moment pour faire le point et regarder autour de moi. <br />
<br />
J'ai remarqué que si je mentionnais souvent mes deux compagnons de marche, Sparta et Nyx et la désormais célèbre petite Milwyn, je parlais plus rarement d'Ola, ma belle jument ibérique. Et pourtant, ma relation avec elle n’est rien de moins qu’une autre histoire magnifique que je voulais partager avec vous aujourd’hui.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Coup de foudre</h3>
<br />
Quand je l'ai vue pour la première fois, elle devait avoir à peu près 6 ans. J'étais allée rendre visite à ma soeur et ses chevaux lorsque j'ai aperçu ce superbe cheval, racé presque félin. Elle avait vraiment l'air magnifique et je ne pu m'empêcher de demander à ma soeur à qui elle était. Il s’est avéré que c'était LE cheval de l’une des cavalières les plus talentueuses de l’écurie. Ola. Elle n'était pas du tout<br />
à vendre et je ne cherchais d'ailleurs pas du tout de cheval! Mais si un jour j'en avais à nouveau un, , j'aimerais qu'il lui ressemble!<br />
<br />
Alors, imaginez ma surprise quand, quelques années plus tard, ma sœur m'a appelé pour m'annoncer qu'Ola était à vendre. Ah bon? Elle ne correspondait plus aux besoins de sa propriétaire - qui enseignait maintenant l’équitation aux jeunes enfants et aux débutants et cette dernière avait décidé de lui trouver une place plus adaptée à son tempérament.<br />
<br />
J'ai résisté. Ce n'était vraiment pas le moment idéal pour moi. Nous venions d’acheter une nouvelle maison, j'étais limite en cash et, surtout, j'avais en tête plein de projets de voyages et professionnels. Alors, comment pourrais-je l'intégrer à mon emploi du temps chargé? Et comment pourrais-je assumer les coûts d'un tel cheval? Peu de temps après, j'ai appris qu'elle avait été vendue. Fin de l'histoire, pensais-je, mieux comme ça ...<br />
<br />
<br />
Mais...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;"><i>Ce qui est prévu pour nous nous reviendra toujours. </i></span></b></div>
<br />
En fait, cela n'a pas fonctionné et pas moins de quelques mois plus tard, elle était revenue chez son ancienne propriétaire. J'ai craqué et j'ai décidé d'aller la voir "juste pour voir". En moins de 10 minutes, ma décision était prise. Personne ne peut résister à ce cheval. Je l'ai vue et j'ai su qu'elle était mon cheval et que j'étais sa personne. C'était aussi simple que cela.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ou presque ...<br />

<h3>
Le couple parfait</h3>
....mais non sans de nombreux ajustements!<br />
<br />
Parce que, bien que nous nous soyons immédiatement entendues, cela ne veut pas dire que cette belle panthère bai-brun alleait devenir du jour au lendemain un doux chat domestique. Il nous en a fallu des essais, des sorties, des aventures et mésaventures avant que je puisse réellement la comprendre et elle me fasse enfin vraiment confiance.<br />
<br />

Certains accepteront quelques désagréments, certains sont plus gentils et plus tolérants que d'autres, certains seront vraiment de braves gars et se montreront étonnamment patients avec leur cavalier maladroit. Ola, elle, n'a jamais fait aucun compromis et n'a jamais toléré aucun inconfort. C'est sûr, elle ne m'a pas rendu la vie facile! Mais notre connection était bien là et je savais que tôt ou tard, je comprendrai enfin et arriverai à cette compréhension mutuelle que je recherchais.<br />
<br />
Pour bien la comprendre et la monter correctement, j'i dû me remettre en question de bien des manières. <br />
<br />
D'abord sur ma façon de monter à cheval - j'ai pu faire un trait sur les règles strictes de dressage, sur toute action imposée ou contrainte. J'ai commencé par approfondir mes connaissances équestres et sur le comportements des chevaux et passer à l'équitation dite "de légèreté". J'ai décidé de la monter sans mors et de me détendre un brin! Elle m'a vraiment demandé de lui faire confiance et de cesser de vouloir la contrôler ... Pas si facile pour une stressée du contrôle doublée d'une ex-cavalière de dressage classique !!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbZbU536y8l5wKDTEkC59ZtzaI1gFyRsoGNcX0e2WBw2KUCE-VnYGN-ixaHMPB4_qLo1ZxtHIFsmodNQzKZG1UDilFQW9wvPdnyJ9o7eNhphgYJuJpHbQmlOU5bZj3ivQSHsYFR3hEkDDj/s1600/20170708_083710.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbZbU536y8l5wKDTEkC59ZtzaI1gFyRsoGNcX0e2WBw2KUCE-VnYGN-ixaHMPB4_qLo1ZxtHIFsmodNQzKZG1UDilFQW9wvPdnyJ9o7eNhphgYJuJpHbQmlOU5bZj3ivQSHsYFR3hEkDDj/s320/20170708_083710.jpg" width="240" /></a>J'ai remis en question ma façon d'être et de penser. J'ai remarqué qu'à chaque fois que je n'étais pas bien dans mes baskets, la tête en l'air, bouleversée, énervée ou dans une mauvaise journée. il était inutile d'essayer de la monter. Elle reflétait à l'exact mon état intérieur. Et essayez de mentir à un cheval! comme ils captent l'énergie, les vibrations que vous émettez, vous pouvez toujours courir pour les feinter ! Elle m'a donc aidée à être plus attentive à mes vrais ressentis, à être honnête envers moi-même, et à prendre conscience de ce que je projetais. Et elle avait tout à fait raison d'ailleurs: dans cet état-là, je ne suis pas un bon leader et je pourrais même être un danger pour le clan. Je ne suis pas "sûre". Et comme les chevaux sont des animaux de fuite, sa réaction est parfaitement logique!<br />
<br />
Petit à petit, alors que j'apprenais et prenais conscience de tout cela, son comportement a changé. Elle est devenue moins stressée, moins sur la défense, plus joyeuse et généralement beaucoup plus calme. Comme elle est très énergique, agile, dotée d’une forte personnalité et qu’elle peut parfois devenir très speed, nous nous entendons à merveille! Elle aime découvrir de nouveaux endroits, aime la compagnie de Sparta, Nyx et même de Milwyn. Je l'emmène marcher ou courir de la même façon que je le fais avec les chiennes. Cela ne lui fait rien de voyager mais elle déteste la routine et s'ennuie facilement. Tu parles! Je vous l'ai dit: ce cheval était faite pour rejoindre la tribu des Striders!<br />

<br />
A présent, notre relation est un pur plaisir, basé sur le respect mutuel et la confiance. Ola n'est pas du genre à se laisser dompter. Je ne vais pas la changer. Elle est elle-même à 100% sans aucun compromis, jamais. Elle a besoin de se sentir libre, bien, en sécurité, en confiance et respectée. En échange, elle me donne tout, sa confiance inconditionnelle et sa loyauté, son affection et sa gentillesse; elle partage avec moi sa sagesse et sa compréhension de la vie et du cours naturel des choses. Avec elle, je n'arrête jamais d'apprendre et d'évoluer.<br />
<br />
Cette jument est ma meilleur amie et un maître exceptionnel. Je l'aime tellement, inconditionnellement, et je suis vraiment reconnaissante de l'avoir à mes côtés.<br />

Monday, 8am. Niksanpera Laavu on Kemijoki, Mandatory Waypoint 11, at 162km. What a dream view in the small hours!<br />
<br />
I've now been in the race for 47 hours and felt a tremendous joy upon waking up in such a peaceful and preserved place. Yet I came close to missing out on this spectacular view...<br />
<br />
<h3>
Comfort Zone </h3>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg84awLYNoA0SpdAU4-vQpaUTzjkeaq3SoNwdXD2aEGdXqrdrusSCUTBkgVNZ-E2S0i-AsmPufZxqYH0Ozw3Tbw52EsXFaEHLCJmTUxf4fTSVSicrFfoO6zj7aCzm4ZqANffA0I9ga-Tlch/s1600/20190223_083905.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg84awLYNoA0SpdAU4-vQpaUTzjkeaq3SoNwdXD2aEGdXqrdrusSCUTBkgVNZ-E2S0i-AsmPufZxqYH0Ozw3Tbw52EsXFaEHLCJmTUxf4fTSVSicrFfoO6zj7aCzm4ZqANffA0I9ga-Tlch/s320/20190223_083905.jpg" width="320" /></a> My third time on the starting line of the <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/" target="_blank">Rovaniemi 150 races</a>. Let me tell you, that's quite something for someone who hates repetition and habits...! Curiously enough, it felt really good to find myself back there on the ice, chatting along with friends and new acquaintances, taking pictures and the unavoidable pre-race selfies, all eager to get started. <br />
<br />
After last year failure in <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2018/02/arrowhead-135-part-1-how-i-hit-bumpy.html" target="_blank">Arrowhead Ultra 135</a>, I felt really confident about my prep. I had improved on my gear and trained accordingly. Of course, the gremlins' voice are always around, trying to sneak nasty doubts in your mind (did I train enough? Do I have all I need? Or too much?, etc.) along with a light pre-race stress. To be honest, I felt compelled to finish, and in a rather good time, as I already completed it once. I'm a competitor after all!<br />
<br />
But I must say I felt pretty good and really eager to get rock and running.<br />
<br />

<i><b>3.2.1. Go!</b></i><br />
<br />
What an exhilarating feeling to take off on Ounasjoki! Fatbikes, runners, skiers, all categories, all distances together. Such a powerful feeling of freedom and joy, it's hard to explain!<br />
<br />
As I now know the first loop pretty well, I know what to expect and really decide to start nice and easy. My plan was to keep as steady a pace as possible. The more regular the faster. The conditions would probably be challenging due to the warmer temperatures. But for now, the river is still nice and frozen allowing the participants to move with ease.<br />
<br />
Around km 17, the snow got a bit softer and things got more complicated. Sections with snowshoes. The infamous Hell Section through the forest. Sinettajärvi, the lake with overflow and soft snow... Progression slowed down drastically... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
Free Fall </h3>
By the end of Sinettajärvi, I started feeling funny. I know the symptoms all too well of my stomach getting upset. So I slowed down a bit, took the natural medicine I had and decided to stop for a while at CP3. Half an hour later, it looked alright, so I kept on. But it got worse. I had to stop and rest at CP4. Only to set off again and feel worse and worse. I was sick as a dog! So sick that I decided to stop and sleep before CP 5. I barely could walk, staggering like a drunkard! That one-hour sleep got me going until CP5 where I stop again and tried to drink at least something sweet. The volunteers there were so funny and friendly that it cheered me up and I pushed on to CP6, Kuusilampi.<br />
<br />
But I was sick all the way. So I decided to make another 30-minute stop. My speed was slower than an African tortoise!! On my legs again, I caught up with one of the 300 runners and told him I was near to quit. But anyway, I kept on. And on. And on. I was so dizzy... it was truly awful. Reaching the road to Tapionkylä, shortly before km 100, I stopped and called my hubby. I was exhausted and feeling hopeless. <i><b>I couldn't give up. But I couldn't push further...</b></i><br />
<br />
My husband told me that, for the exception of the girl, I was still ahead of the 300 pack. So why not stop and get some proper rest and decide next?<br />
<br />
So right there, next to the road, I put my sled on top of the snow bank, dig myself deep into my sleeping-bag and slept. Let me die here...<br />

<h3>
The rise of the Phoenix</h3>
<br />
I slept like a baby. And woke up two solid hours later. A message from my hubby asking me how I am doing. Actually...? I feel better. I know that now I'm the last of the 300 runners. You bet, I slept more in one day than planned for the whole race... Me, Rachel, am last....😱😱😱😱. My worst nightmare. But curiously enough, it didn't bring me any further down...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;">I was at my lowest so it couldn't be worse. It could only get better.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;">I have only one thought in mind: stand up and walk. As far and as fast as I can</span></b>.</div>
<br />
Quick call home and I'm off again. Not giving up. No way. I am a warrior. Warriors don't give up. A sip of my electrolyte drink and I'm on my way to CP7, Toramokivalo.<br />
<br />
Shortly after I catch up with Kaisa, a Finnish runner. We exchange a few words and as of every encounter I make, it lights me up. I keep walking, fast. I still can't eat but feel a lot better anyway. The trail to CP7 is endless. Up and downhills, never-ending forest tracks... I pass Gunilla from Sweden right before reaching the welcoming Toramokivalo. Some familiar faces among the runners and volunteers. <b>I feel a blast of joy and energy!</b> If I've made it here, I can finish the race. And finish it well.<br />
<br />

<br />
I took my time there, enjoyed the place and even managed to eat a few bites of my freeze-dried pasta (not knowing it would be my only real meal of the entire 320km!) before setting off on the trail in high spirits. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<i><b>Rachel is back and unstoppable!</b></i><br />
<br />
By CP8, the last one on the first 150k loop, I had caught up with most of the Rovaniemi 300 runners. Having lost so much time during the first 30 hours, I decided not to rest there and to keep on until the next shelter, on the Kemijoki, some 20km away.<br />

What a long way to Wpt 11!! I was exhausted. At the laavu, one of the cyclists and Omar, a Spanish runner were also resting. Waking up there after a couple hours of good sleep felt amazing! The temperatures were mild for the season and made it incredibly easy to change my contact lenses, socks and base layers. The French TV, who was following the French runner, arrived shortly before Omar and I set off on the river again.<br />

Water. Water was everywhere on the surface that morning. We call the phenomena <i><b>overflow</b></i>, when the water comes over the ice cover of the rivers and lakes. There's always more than enough ice to use the rivers as pathways but you might find yourself knee-high deep in the snow or water! In this case, snowshoes or overboots are mandatory. It took us what seems a really long time to reach the shore. <br />
<br />
Forest. Woods. Trees. And hills. Endless hills and curves. That was about it for the next 17km section of soft snow.<br />
<br />
Followed by more rivers, more lakes, more overflow, more deep snow, all requiring a lot of efforting and energy! Indeed, it really requires some fire energy to keep going in such harsh conditions! It was tough, really tough. Not mentioning I was hardly eating anything, keeping my stomach as relaxed as possible by visualisation and positive mantras...!<br />
<br />
Thankfully the spectacular lights and magical colours playing in the Finnish sky never stop impressing me, helping me keep my spirits high and a mind of steel. <br />
<br />
Air. Earth. Water. Fire. Indeed a race woven in the four essential elements.<br />
<br />

<h3>
Calling on SISU</h3>
Despite it all the hard conditions, I was so grateful and delighted to be there! I had not given up, I fell and rose again. And now on Monday evening, when I stopped to boil water, I was back at the second position in the foot category! I knew that all the support I remotely got from my family and beloved ones was boosting me. I believe in Magic, I believe in the Power of Nature, I believe in the Spirit of the North. And I called upon all those forces to help me achieve my goal: <i><b>finish the race.</b></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>SISU.</b></span><br />
<br />
I think that for the very first time I really understood and feel SISU.<br />
<br />
The famous Finnish concept of Sisu is a grim, gritty, white-knuckle form of courage that is presented typically in situations where success is against the odds. <i><b>Stoic determination. Tenacity of purpose. Grit. Courage. Resilience. Bravery. Hardiness. </b></i><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisFFyG6hA5aFR-xUvT9STPXj9lBoaXY9HBZaIsnGiJbSXEhSa7rVKhrmK0HLZe0OQ9_es16zTNcn7nWR-DkSG2qoNNG9I7q5MZArYR2ezAnxWN7f92hyne4xiI7gT72coAb2lYbm6ogFRj/s1600/20190226_114542.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisFFyG6hA5aFR-xUvT9STPXj9lBoaXY9HBZaIsnGiJbSXEhSa7rVKhrmK0HLZe0OQ9_es16zTNcn7nWR-DkSG2qoNNG9I7q5MZArYR2ezAnxWN7f92hyne4xiI7gT72coAb2lYbm6ogFRj/s320/20190226_114542.jpg" width="180" /></a>I've always been in awe of what <b><i>Sisu</i></b> represents. And now I was experiencing it for real. Unstoppable.<br />
<br />
I kept moving at the same pace, hardly stopping. If I couldn't catch up with the head of race, at least I was going as fast and strong as possible.<br />
<br />
Up and downhills, soft snow, frozen lakes, forest. More hills. Tuesday was a hard day. My sled seemed to weight tons, hardly sliding due to the soft snow conditions. I felt like a tiny car towing a heavy trailer!! But <b>every step takes me closer</b>. One step after the other. One kilometer after the other. I would finally get there...<br />
<br />
That day I saw only a few locals who came to say hello and cheer me up on my way. Always so friendly! Funny enough, I thought, they probably didn't think I had any Sisu. For them, I must merely look like a crazy girl hauling a big pulka on an obscure sport event..😂 <br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
The 300 Snowy Grail</h3>
<br />
On Tuesday evening I reached Wpt 29, the second to last waypoint. 30k left to Rovaniemi. And guess what? My stomach finally decided to let go of the pressure and suddenly I was there craving for food!!! And so here am I power walking and jogging my way to the finish line! Well, it still took me another 6 hours from wpt 29 😜!<br />
<br />
Spoiler Alert: The final 20k on Ounasjoki are deadly. Better have a very creative mind to keep you awake and going in the right direction! And Rovaniemi Bridge in the distance... soon there but never quite there.<br />
<br />
The funniest was still to come: when I finally - finally!! - reached the shore next to Arktikum at 2.20am where I was supposed to get out of the river, I couldn't see anything nor anybody. I decided to push through to Pilke. <i><b>No One</b></i>, Nada. Not a living soul. Just an empty car park.<br />
<br />
It turned out that the guys from the organisation accidentally fell asleep, exhausted from hours of night watch, and missed my arrival!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
What a mischievous blink from the Universe! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>"You've just run the </b></span><span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><b>hardest </b></span>320k of your life and finished second overall. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>But this isn't a reason to take any of this too seriously!" </b></span></div>
<br />
Talk about humility and a solid sense of humour!<br />
<br />
As Àlex Casanovas, the race director said: <b>"this race is a game. Think of it as a game. Follow the rules and you win. You all win something" </b><br />
<br />
Well, I really loved playing that game, however hard it was. And I've won so much more than a medal and a trophy 😉<br />
<br />
<b>A huge and special THANK YOU - KIITOS - MERCI - GRACIAS - GRAZIE to those who contributed to my victory!!! 💗💪</b><br />

Lundi 8h. Niksanpera Laavu sur Kemijoki, Waypoint obligatoire 11, à 162 km. Quelle vue de rêve au petit matin!<br />
<br />
La course a commencé il y a 47 heures et je resssens une joie immense de me réveiller dans un endroit aussi paisible et préservé. Pourtant, j'ai failli ne jamais voir cette vue spectaculaire ...<br />

Laissez-moi vous dire que pour quelqu'un qui déteste les répétitions et les habitudes, c'est un événement ...! Curieusement, je me sentais vraiment bien de me retrouver là sur la glace, bavardant avec des amis et de nouvelles connaissances, prenant des photos et les inévitables selfies d’avant la course, tous impatients de commencer.<br />
<br />
Après mon échec sur la <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2018/02/arrowhead-135-part-1-how-i-hit-bumpy.html" target="_blank">Arrowhead Ultra 135</a>, je me sentais cette fois vraiment confiante et prête. J'avais amélioré mon équipement et m'étais entraînée en conséquence. Bien sûr, mes petits démons sont toujours présents, essayant de faire naître des doutes dans mon esprit (est-ce que je me suis suffisamment entraînée? Ai-je tout ce dont j'ai besoin? Ou trop? Etc.) ainsi qu'un stress léger avant la course. Pour être honnête, je m'étais mis la pression de terminer et dans un assez bon temps, vu que je l'avais déjà fait une fois. Je suis super compétitrice après tout!<br />
<br />
Mais je dois dire que je me sentais très bien et avais vraiment hâte de m'élancer.<br />

<i><b>3.2.1. Partez!</b></i><br />
<br />
Quel sentiment exaltant de s'élancer sur Ounasjoki! Fatbikes, coureurs, skieurs, toutes catégories, toutes distances confondues. Un tel sentiment de liberté et de joie! Difficile à expliquer...<br />
<br />
Comme je connais plutôt bien la première boucle maintenant, je sais à quoi m'attendre et avais décidé vraiment de commencer gentiment et sans précipitation. Mon plan était de garder un rythme aussi régulier que possible. Le plus régulier le plus rapide. Les conditions seraient probablement difficiles en raison de la hausse des températures. Mais pour le moment, la rivière est toujours bien gelée, ce qui permet aux participants d'avancer facilement.<br />
<br />
Vers le km 17, la neige est devenue un peu plus douce et les choses se sont compliquées. Passages avec raquettes. La fameuse section de la "mort qui tue" à travers la forêt. Sinettajärvi, le lac avec ses débordement d'eau et à la neige molle ... La progression ralentit considérablement ...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
Chute Libre</h3>
À la fin de Sinettajärvi, j'ai commencé à me sentir bizarre. Je ne connais que trop bien ces symptômes: mon estomac qui fait des siennes. Alors, j'ai ralenti un peu, pris les médicaments naturels que j'avais et décidais de m'arrêter un moment au CP3. Une demi-heure plus tard, ça avait l'air d'aller, alors j'ai continué. Mais ça a empiré. J'ai dû m'arrêter et me reposer au CP4. Pour repartir et me sentir de mal en pis. J'étais malade comme un chien! Tellement malade que j'ai décidé de m'arrêter et de dormir avant le 5e CP. Je pouvais à peine marcher, titubant comme une ivrogne! Cette heure de sommeil m'a permis de continuer jusqu'au CP5, où je me suis encore arrêtée et j'ai essayé de boire au moins quelque chose de sucré. Les volontaires là-bas étaient si drôles et sympathiques que cela m'a remonté le moral et j'ai poursuivi ma progression vers le CP6, Kuusilampi.<br />
<br />
Mais j'ai été malade tout le temps. J'ai donc décidé de faire un autre arrêt de 30 minutes. Quelle vitesse de tortue!! <br />
A nouveau sur mes jambes, j'ai finalement rattrapé l'un des coureurs de la 300 et lui ai dit que j'étais sur le point d'abandonner. Mais j'ai continué quand même. Et encore. Et encore. J'avais la tête qui tournait, les jambes qui flagolaient.… c'était vraiment affreux. En arrivant à Tapionkylä, peu avant le km 100, je me suis arrêtée et j'ai appelé mon mari. J'étais épuisée et me sentais désespérée. Je ne pouvais pas abandonner. Mais je ne pouvais plus avancer ...<br />
<br />
Mon mari m'a dit alors que, à l'exception de l'autre fille, j'étais toujours en avance sur le groupe de 300. Alors, pourquoi ne pas m'arrêter, prendre un peu de repos et décider ensuite?<br />
<br />
Alors, j'ai posé ma pulka sur le tas de neige en bordure de route, je me suis mise dans mon sac de couchage et me suis endormie. <i><b>Laissez-moi juste mourir ici ...</b></i><br />
<br />

<h3>
Le Phénix renaît de ses cendres</h3>
<br />
J'ai dormi comme un bébé. Et me suis réveillée deux heures plus tard. Un message de mon mari me demandant comment je vais. Franchement...? Mieux. Je sais que maintenant je suis la dernière des 300. C'est sûr! Avec tout ce que j'ai traîné et dormi! ... Moi, Rachel, je suis la dernière....😱😱😱😱. Mon pire cauchemard.... Mais étonnement, cela ne m'a pas plus déprimée que ça...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>J'étais au plus bas donc ça ne pouvait pas être pire. Cela ne pourrait que s'améliorer. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Je n’ai qu’une seule idée en tête: me lever et marcher. Aussi loin et aussi vite que possible</b></span></div>
<br />
Rapide appel à la maison et je repars. Ne pas abandonner. En aucune façon. Je suis une guerrière. Les guerriers n'abandonnent pas. Une gorgée de ma boisson aux électrolytes et je me pars pour le CP7, Toramokivalo.<br />
<br />
Peu de temps après, je rattrape Kaisa, une coureuse finlandaise. Nous échangeons quelques mots et à chaque rencontre que je fais, ça me rebooste. Je continue à marcher vite. Je ne peux toujours pas manger mais je me sens beaucoup mieux quand même. Le track menant au CP7 est sans fin. Montées et descentes, pistes forestières interminables ... Je passe Gunilla, qui vient de Suède, juste avant d'arriver à l'accueillant Toramokivalo. Quelques visages familiers parmi les coureurs et les bénévoles. Je sens une joie et une énergie immenses en moi! Si je l'ai fait jusqu'ici, je peux finir la course. Et la finir bien<br />

<br />
Je pris mon temps là-bas, pour apprécier les lieux et manger un peu de mes pâtes lyophilisées (sans savoir que ce serait mon seul vrai repas sur 320 km!) Avant de partir sur le sentier de super bonne humeur. Au taquet!<br />
<br />

Au CP8, le dernier de la première boucle de 150 km, j'avais rattrapé la plupart des coureurs de la 300. Ayant perdu beaucoup de temps au cours des 30 premières heures, j’ai décidé de ne pas me reposer làet de poursuivre jusqu’au prochain abri, à Kemijoki, à une vingtaine de kilomètres de là.<br />

<br />
Comme c'était long jusqu'au Wpt 11 !! J'étais épuisée. Au laavu, un des cyclistes et Omar, un coureur espagnol se reposaient également. Je me suis réveillée après deux heures de sommeil profond. Les températures clémentes pour la saison, ont rendu eincroyablement facile le changement de mes lentilles de contact, des chaussettes et de mon Merinos. La télévision française, qui suivait le coureur français, est arrivée sur les lieux peu de temps avant qu'Omar et moi repartissions sur la rivière.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsC6AxZMmB3Pj3nDfvCqp_Eg0sTgBiyGIRdkyzjk19nDMp8emjmv0qH5zt08-4UReeo7qswCm87-XXzGTBGEoN_AWsd9gzj39R42hXtfF631EiQKBgtoP3W3p5NTUlRtClL5Pti0GmuoF9/s1600/20190225_173138.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsC6AxZMmB3Pj3nDfvCqp_Eg0sTgBiyGIRdkyzjk19nDMp8emjmv0qH5zt08-4UReeo7qswCm87-XXzGTBGEoN_AWsd9gzj39R42hXtfF631EiQKBgtoP3W3p5NTUlRtClL5Pti0GmuoF9/s320/20190225_173138.jpg" width="180" /></a><br />
De l'Eau. L'eau était partout à la surface de la rivière ce matin-là. Nous appelons le phénomène "débordement" (overflow), lorsque l'eau vient par-dessus la couche de glace sur les rivières et lacs. Il y a toujours bien assez de glace pour utiliser les rivières comme routes, mais vous pouvez vous retrouver dans la neige ou dans l'eau jusq'à mi-genoux! Dans ce cas, les raquettes ou les surbottes (overboots) sont obligatoires. Et il nous a fallu beaucoup de temps pour atteindre le rivage...<br />
<br />
Forêt. Des forêts. Des arbres. Et des collines. Des collines et des courbes sans fin. C'était à peu près tout ce qui nous attendait pour la prochaine section de 17 km de neige molle.<br />
<br />
Suivie par d'autres rivières, d'autres lacs, plus de débordements, plus de neige épaisse, tous très demandeurs d'efforts et d'énergie! Franchement, il faut vraiment une énergie de feu pour continuer dans des conditions aussi difficiles! C'était dur, vraiment dur. Sans mentionner que je ne mangeais presque rien, essayant de garder mon estomac aussi détendu que possible par la visualisation et des mantras positifs ...!<br />
<br />
Heureusement que les lumières magiques et les couleurs spectaculaires jouant dans le ciel finlandais ne cessent jamais de m'impressionner, m'aidant à garder le moral et un mental d'acier.<br />
<br />
Air. Terre. Eau. Feu. Pour sûr, une course taillée dans les quatre éléments essentiels.<br />

<h3>
Le Réveil de SISU</h3>
Malgré toutes ces conditions difficiles, j'étais tellement reconnaissante et heureuse d'être là! Je n'avais pas abandonné, j'étais tombée et m'étais relevée. Et à présent, lundi soir, alors que je m'arrêtais pour cuir de l'eau, j'étais de retour à la deuxième position dans la catégorie coureurs! Je savais que tout le soutien que je recevais à distance de ma famille et de mes proches me stimulait. Je crois en la Magie, je crois au Forces de la nature, je crois à l'Esprit du nord. Et j'ai fait appel à toutes ces forces pour m'aider à atteindre mon objectif: <i><b>terminer la course.</b></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>SISU.</b></span><br />
<br />
Je pense que pour la première fois, j'ai vraiment compris et ressentis le SISU.<br />
<br />
Le fameux concept finlandais de Sisu est une forme de courage à toute épreuve qui se présente généralement dans des situations où le succès est contre toute attente. <i><b>Détermination stoïque. Ténacité. Cran. Endurance. Courage. Résilience. Bravoure. Résistence.</b></i><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisFFyG6hA5aFR-xUvT9STPXj9lBoaXY9HBZaIsnGiJbSXEhSa7rVKhrmK0HLZe0OQ9_es16zTNcn7nWR-DkSG2qoNNG9I7q5MZArYR2ezAnxWN7f92hyne4xiI7gT72coAb2lYbm6ogFRj/s1600/20190226_114542.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisFFyG6hA5aFR-xUvT9STPXj9lBoaXY9HBZaIsnGiJbSXEhSa7rVKhrmK0HLZe0OQ9_es16zTNcn7nWR-DkSG2qoNNG9I7q5MZArYR2ezAnxWN7f92hyne4xiI7gT72coAb2lYbm6ogFRj/s320/20190226_114542.jpg" width="180" /></a>J'ai toujours été impressionnée par ce que représente Sisu. Et là, maintenant je le vivais réellement. Inarrêtable.<br />
<br />
Je continuais à avancer au même rythme, sans m'arrêter. Si je ne pouvais pas rattraper la tête de course, au moins j'allais aussi vite et fort que possible.<br />
<br />
Montées et descentes, neige molle, lacs gelés, forêts. Et encore des collines. Mardi a été une journée difficile. Ma pulka semblait peser des tonnes, glissant difficilement en raison de la neige molle. Je me sentais comme une Mini tractant une lourde remorque !! Mais chaque pas me rapprochait. Un pas après l'autre. Un kilomètre après l'autre. Je finirais bien par y arriver ...<br />
<br />
Ce jour-là, je n'ai vu que quelques habitants venus me dire bonjour par curiosité. Toujours super sympathiques! C'est assez comique finalement: ils ne pensent probablement pas que j'avais du Sisu. Pour eux, je dois simplement ressembler à une drôle de miss tirant une énorme pulka pour une quelconque course obscure..😂 <br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Le Graal Blanc des 300 KM</h3>
<br />
Mardi soir, j'atteignais le Wpt 29, l'avant-dernier. 30km jusqu'à Rovaniemi. Et devinez quoi? Mon estomac se décide enfin à relâcher la pression, et me voilà affamée d'un coup!! Du coup, boostée, je fonce vers la ligne d'arrivée. Bon, entre nous, cela m'a quand même pris encore 6 heures depuis le Wpt 29 😜!<br />
<br />
Autant vous prévenir: les derniers 20 km sur Ounasjoki sont mortels. Vaut mieux être doté d'une tête solide et d'une imagination à toute épreuve pour vous maintenir réveillé et dans la bonne direction. Et ce fameux pont de Rovaniemi qui n'en finit plus d'être tout bientôt là....<br />
<br />
Le plus drôle restait à venir. Car, quand finalement - oui finalement!!! - j'approche du bord de la rivière où je suis sensée rejoindre Arktikum à 2.20 du mat', éh bien il n'y a rien, n'y personne. J'improvise et trouve mon chemin jusqu'à Pilke, arrivée définitive et Personne. Rien. Nada. Rien d'autre qu'un parking vide.<br />
<br />
Les gars de l'organisation épuisés par les heures de veille se sont endormis juste avant mon arrivée...!!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Alors ça, pour un clin d'oeil de l'Univers!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>"Tu viens tout juste de courir les 320 kms les plus durs de ta vie et finis 2ème à pied. </b></span><span style="color: blue;"><b>Mais ce n'est pas une raison pour te prendre au sérieux! " </b></span></div>
<br />
Parlez-moi d'humilité et d'humour bien accroché!<br />
<br />
Comme l'a dit le directeur de course Àlex Casanovas: <b>"Cette course est un jeu. Pensez-là comme un jeu en grandeur réelle. Suivez ls règles et vous gagnez. Tout le monde y gagnera quelque chose " </b><br />
<br />
Et bien, j'ai adoré jouer à ce jeu, aussi difficile qu'il ait été. J'y ai gagné bien plus qu'une médaille et un trophée 😉<br />
<br />
<b>Un immense et spécial THANK YOU - KIITOS - MERCI - GRACIAS - GRAZIE à tous ceux qui ont participé de près ou de loin à ma belle victoire!!! 💗💪</b><br />

This will be my 4th participation in Arctic races, and my 2nd participation in the Rovaniemi 300. In 2017, I was the first woman to finish it ...! Big suspense for this edition! lol<br />
<br />
I particularly enjoy these races because they have a very special charm and require a lot of autonomy and knowledge from the participants. Due to the terrain, the snow and weather conditions, each edition is totally different. I love the challenge! And my main goal is above all to finish within the time limit and do the best race ever for me!<br />

Ce sera ma 4ème participation à des courses dites polairse, et ma 2ème participation à la Rovaniemi 300. En 2017, j'étais la première femme à l'avoir terminée...! Alors, gros suspense pour cette édition! <i>lol</i><br />
<br />
J'affectionne particulèrement ces courses car elles ont un charme très particulier et demandent beaucoup d'autonomie et de connaissances de la part des participants. En raison du terrain et des conditions de neige et météorologiques, chaque édition est totalement différente. J'adore ce défi, à chaque fois nouveau! Le but est avant tout de parvenir à finir la boucle dans les temps.<br />

<h3>
Winter's back! And the Striders too!</h3>
<br />
Long time no news! I know!! I don't know about you, but for me, the last weeks of 2018 were pretty hectic... and 2019 took off like a rocket! And I clearly needed some time away from social media and all this frenzy 😉.<br />
<br />
But now, I'm back with some nice and fresh news! <br />
<br />
<h3>
Back to Finland</h3>
<br />
Guess what?<br />
<br />
I'm going back to Rovaniemi, Finland to participate in the <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/rov300/" target="_blank">Rovaniemi 300</a>! Yes! Two years after having finished it - and the first woman to do so! -, I couldn't resist entering the race another time. Imagine! It will be my 3rd Rovaniemi Arctic race (<a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/p/rovaniemi-150-2015.html" target="_blank">2015</a>, <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2017/03/rovaniemi-300-extreme-approach-to.html" target="_blank">2017</a> and 2019)! and my 6th trip in the Finnish Lapland capital!<br />
<br />
<b>Yippeee!!!</b><br />
<br />
Am so looking forward to heading back there. The frozen rivers. The white forests. The atmosphere. The pink and blue colours. The reindeers. The fun organisation. The friendly local people. The never-ending snowmobile tracks. The soft snow... The blizzard... Ah, my favourite 300k! Whatever the conditions, I truly look forward to hitting the trail once again. It's magical. I love everything there, good and bad. And I'm determined to have the time of my life!<br />
<br />
This time, promised, I won't get sick, get lost or lose my GPS <i>lol (read <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2017/03/rovaniemi-300-extreme-approach-to.html" target="_blank">related post</a>)</i><br />
<br />
I'm even considering being ready for a fun and perfect race. By this I mean without any extra challenge or added complication. Isn't it sufficiently challenging to spend some 3 to 5 days unsupported in below zero temperatures? Yeap, I think so 😅<br />
<br />

<i> </i><br />
<h4>
Some figures </h4>
I'm also excited to go back for the third time as I want to gain more experience for future Arctic challenges. Honestly, if the route is the same, the rest can totally change from one edition to the next. Indeed, it depends so much on the weather and snow conditions. Just take a look at the results of past editions: for the <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/results/fastest-rov150/" target="_blank">Rovaniemi 150</a>, the finishing time for the winners of each category can double from year to year!<br />
<br />
In <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/results/2016/" target="_blank">2016</a>, 30 people entered the Rov300, only 4 finished. In <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/results/2017/" target="_blank">2017</a>, we were 12 to finish the Rov300. 4 on foot. <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/results/rov300-2018/" target="_blank">Last year</a>, only 3 finished... and Jordi with the Fatbike was last.... imagine what the snow conditions must have been like! <br />
<br />
So let's wait and see what it will be like this year 😀<br />
<br />
My desire is to finish the Rovaniemi 300 in good physical and mental conditions (don't laugh! you should see some people after 4 days out there...🙈), with all my fingers and toes, proud of my race and performance.. and if I can do it in a good time, even better!<br />
<br />
<br />
This year, we are 15 people on the Rovaniemi 300, 7 Fatbikes and 8 on Foot! <i><b>And 2 women!!!!</b></i><br />
<br />
<h3>
My Rovaniemi 2019 for Lutine</h3>
<br />
If you've been following me for a while, you know that I always do my event for animal charities and environmental causes. This year I was planning to do it differently by raising funds afterwards, through public speaking events. I didn't gave any last year and now really feel like going "back on stage" to share my adventures to a larger audience 😄. It's so much fun! Keep you posted for dates.<br />
<br />
But, yesterday, <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2017/11/highway-to-arrowhead.html" target="_blank">Darwyn</a>, the horse shelter I sponsored <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2017/11/highway-to-arrowhead.html" target="_blank">last year,</a> published the story of an adorable pony called Lutine. They rescued her from mistreatment from her owner (see below). I instantly felt in love with that little one and that I had to raise funds for her to pay for her treatment and care.<br />
<br />
So <b>I'm dedicated my Rovaniemi 300 to her </b>and the Darwyn team who's doing such a fantastic job! So if you feel like supporting me sponsoring Lutine, it would mean a lot to me 💕<br />

<br />
Ca faisait longtemps! Je sais!! Je ne sais pas pour vous, mais pour moi, les dernières semaines de 2018 ont été assez mouvementées ... et 2019 a démarré sur les chapeaux de roue! Et j'avais vraiment besoin d'un peu de temps loin des réseaux sociaux et de toute cette frénésie 😉.<br />
<br />
Mais à présent, je suis de retour, avec des nouvelles fraîches!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Finlande, j'arrive!</h3>
<br />
Devinez?<br />
<br />
Ca y'est, j'y retourne. A Rovaniemi, en Finlande pour participer une nouvelle fois à la <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/rov300/" target="_blank">Rovaniemi 300</a>! Eh oui! Deux ans après l'avoir terminée - et la première femme à le faire! -, je n'ai pas pu résister et m'inscrire à nouveau. Imaginez! Ce sera ma 3ème particpation à cette course arctique, 1x la 150 et 2x la 300 (<a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/p/rovaniemi-150-2015.html" target="_blank">2015</a>, <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2017/03/rovaniemi-300-extreme-approach-to.html" target="_blank">2017</a> et 2019)! et mon 6ème séjour dans la capitale lapone!<br />
<br />
<b>Yippeee!!!</b><br />
<br />
Je me réjouis tellement de me retrouver là-bas. Les rivières gelées. Les forêts recouvertes de neige. L'atmosphère si particulière. Les couleurs rose et bleu. Les rennes. L'organisation au top. Les locaux tellement authentiques et sympathiques. Les pistes interminables. La neige molle ... Le blizzard ... Ah, mes 300k préférés! Quelles que soient les conditions, j'ai vraiment hâte de parcourir à nouveau la distance. C'est magique. J'aime cet endroit, pour le meilleur et le pire! Et je suis déterminée à y passer un des meilleurs moments de ma vie!<br />
<br />
Cette fois, promis, je ne vais pas être malade, me perdre ou perdre mon GPS <i>lol (voir <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2017/03/rovaniemi-300-extreme-approach-to.html" target="_blank">l'article de 2017</a>)</i><br />
<br />
Je suis même prête à faire une course simplement fun et parfaite! Càd, sans y ajouter de défi ou complication supplémentaire. Franchement, passer entre 3 et 5 jours dehors, par températures clairement négatives, en autonomie... n'est-ce pas déjà un défi suffisant? Je crois que oui! 😅<br />
<br />

<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
Quelques chiffres</h4>
Je me réjouis aussi spécialement d'y retourner et de refaire la course, car je veux gagner en expérience pour de futurs défis polaires. Car si le parcours reste le même d'une année à l'autre, pour le reste... tout est différent. Tout est tellement dépendant des conditions de neige et météo. Regardez les résultats sur les éditions précédentes: pour la <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/results/fastest-rov150/" target="_blank">Rovaniemi 150</a>, le temps des premiers de chaque catégorie peut passer du simple au double d'une édition à l'autre! <br />
<br />
En <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/results/2016/" target="_blank">2016</a>, 30 participants inscrits sur la Rov300, seuls 4 ont fini. En <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/results/2017/" target="_blank">2017</a>, nous étions 12 à la terminer dont 4 à pied. <a href="https://www.rovaniemi150.com/results/rov300-2018/" target="_blank">L'année dernière </a>, seuls 3 ont fini... et Jordi à Fatbike était dernier.... imaginez ce que devaient être les conditions! <br />
<br />
Alors attendons de voir cette année! 😀<br />
<br />
Mon but est de <b>finir</b> la Rovaniemi 300 en bon état physique et mental (et on ne rit pas! vous devriez voir l'état de certains après 4 jours dehors...🙈), avec tous mes doigts et orteils, fière de moi et de ma course, et si c'est dans un temps correct, c'est encore mieux!<br />
<br />
Cette année, nous sommes 15 inscrits sur la Rovaniemi 300, 7 Fatbikes et 8 à pied! <i><b>et 2 femmes!!!!</b></i><br />
<br />
<h3>
Ma Rovaniemi 2019 pour Lutine</h3>
<br />
Si vous me suivez depuis un moment, vous savez que je fais toujours mes courses et expé pour soutenir des œuvres caritatives pour les animaux et des causes environnementales. Cette année, je prévoyais de faire différemment en recueillant des fonds par la suite, par le biais de <b>conférences</b>. Je n’en ai donné aucune l’année dernière et j’ai à présent vraiment envie de "remonter sur scène" pour partager mes aventures avec un public plus large. 😄. J'adore ça! Alors je vous tiendrai au courant pour les dates à mon retour. <br />
<br />
Mais hier, lorsque j'ai vu une annonce de <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2017/11/highway-to-arrowhead.html" target="_blank">Darwyn</a>, le refuge pour chevaux que j'ai soutenu <a href="https://thestridersadventures.blogspot.com/2017/11/highway-to-arrowhead.html" target="_blank">l'année dernière</a> narrant l'histoire d'une adorable ponette prénomée Lutine, je me suis dit que je voulais l'aider. Elle a été maltraitée par son propriétaire et le refuge l'a secourue et va lui procurer les soins nécessaires (voir ci-contre).<br />
<br />
Alors, <b>je dédie ma Rovaniemi 300 à Lutine </b>et à toute l'équipe de Darwyn qui fait un travail extraordinaire! Si vous voulez m'aider à la parrainer, même à hauteur de quelques francs, et m'encourager lors de mes 300 kilomètres dans le froid arctique, je vous serai immensément reconnaissante! 💕<br />
