My goal is to become an advanced Dog Sledding Expeditioner within 12 months by participating in at least two different Dog Sledding expeditions of 5-7 day duration. I will attend weekly practice sessions for 4 hours, as well as work on honing my skills as a musher by studying related texts and watching expert demonstrations on dog sledding. I will also commit to take part in at least four competitions within the 12 months and will strive to obtain a place in the top three at each of them.
