 Marçal and Laura came into the world of mushing only a few years ago. They are passionate about the mountains and like Miquei they do all kinds of activities: rock climbing, caving, mountain climbing and, of course: mushing!

| 04/08/2010 The Kobalaq team continues to grow |
 At the end of July the litter was born which is the result of the cross between Tana and Puck. There are six puppies: 4 males and 2 females. They are growing very fast indeed. All six have names, this time inspired by constellations: Ursa, Polar, Sirius, Polux, Draco and Castor. Mother and pups are all fit and healthy. See photos in KBLQ07.

| 08/02/2010 Fantastic collaboration from Royal Canin Norway |
 The Kobalaq team uses Royal Canin 4800 when the dogs are working at their hardest (since before 2003 when long distance began) RC4800 gives them the calories they need within a small volume of biscuits. The transport from our country of the food necessary for the Finnmarkslopet is not easy. We need to carry about 140kg during the 5000km, which represents both weight and consumption for the vehicle. This year we have had wonderful help from Royal Canin Norway, who have already left us the biscuits we need at Alta. We would like to publicly thank Royal Canin Norway for their generosity. We hope to be able to cross the finishing line for the seventh time!

| 25/01/2010 Marçal Rocias at Grau Roig. He won’t be able to take part in the Finnmarkslopet. |
 Marçal Rocias, has been preparing for Finnmarkslopet 2010 since last summer with great keenness and enthusiasm. But during the autumn, problems and different offers have redirected his possibilities to other challenges. Will the FL be a challenge for another year? We hope so. This year he has lent us his “girls”: Negu and Narvik, 2 year old Norwegian dogs, to help us make up a competitive team this year.

| 19/01/2010 Some conclusions from the THMV |
 The THMV has allowed us more opportunity to work in snow: 200 km in 2 days. Until the THMV we had only been able to complete 90 km in snow! The new line we are working on has improved in some ways and worsened in others. Above all it has gained in power. The young team is a lot stronger and the ascents are much quicker and easier than before.
