Our day started early as we were supposed to take care of the track at Lake Mývatn and help getting everything ready before the competition starts. It was the first time that the 2 local riding clubs worked together in this and I hope it will be like that in the future. So much easier for everybody. 
Today riders compeeted in tölt, fourgait, fivegait and speedpace, where the local police measured the speed with their radar. The horse/rider pair with the highest speed won. Nice to watch and no trouble with timetaking.
The weather was very good, but the ice not as good as the day before, rather slippery today. Nevertheless people were in good mood and I have to applaud the riders for being on time and ready when they had to go into the track. Bjarni Páll did a very good job as a speaker, Hildur was fast writing down all the marks, calculating, giving out the results and sending them to the newspages on the internet.
I think everything went very well and the cakebuffet afterwards just made it perfect.
