Mo
Xmul
(8)

Hidden trail: ~8k. Xmul was on the hook out of the gate but I let her off for long stretches and she was good. Everyone was really up for it and kept a good pace. Lily ran towards doce when we were still on the way to the hidden trail because she heard a moto heading north; she dragged a couple with her and though they all came back and behaved I wasn't pleased with her and need to watch her / put her on the hook more. Elewah was surprisingly good, although I scooped her up at the shrimpery just out of habit. The bugs were starting to get really bad by the time we got off the beach at the tortuga sign and they hounded us all the way home.

Roni took this group out for a jaunt around the cow pasture only to be beaten back by the clouds of mosquitoes on the dead goat trail; at the point where there are big puddles the bugs truly throw down their buzzing curtain of pain and ... buzzing. The dogs were all good; Amber waited for Roni to get to her before crossing the road on the way home, Tito kept up and everyone had a good time and looked happy when they got home.

morning swim:

Mosquitoes in the monte and tabanos on the beach: you simply cannot escape the biting insects this time of year. They harassed us constantly but Greta did well nonetheless.
