Answer
Firstly I would say not to go into this with what everyone has told you clearly at the front of your mind. THe reason for this is shit happens and usually when you least want it to. I know my son went into a state title when racing his 65cc in the lead with the last round to go. There should have been no way he could have lost with the points the way they were but again shit happens. Anything that could go wrong did and sometimes that still happens. He was running in the first few riders at a round of the nationals just recently and the bike decided to just stop. So go and race without putting a sheep station on it as that is when you try way too hard and things come undone.
Don't exercise the day before you race but even this time of year start to hydrate. Don't eat steak the day before you race. Load up on pasta and eat bananas on race day.
is this the go girls event to be held at kingaroy?

How far can my dog run?

I adopted a queensland/border collie mix dog about 6 months ago. He is probably around 1 1/2 years old now. He is really energetic and I take him out everyday for about 15 to 20 min. I took him out with my bike yesterday for a five mile walk/run(2 and a half miles one way and back) and he seems fine. I just want to know if that is ok or am I pushing him too much. How long can my dog run safely. I want to be able to bike with him to my brothers house which is about 10 miles from where i live and back... could that be possible, possibly stoping every few miles for rest and drink?
Answer
I would say ask your vet. They probably have the best answer.
But if you want my opinion, I say to build up to the 10 miles, add a half a mile or mile every few weeks until you get where you want him to be. If he cannot do it, though, it might not be possible. You have a great breed for distance, as they are very energetic and enjoy exercise!
Make sure to not push him too fast, or he could end up dehydrated, overheated, or have a physical pull or sprain. They are a breed who don't stop when overworked, so watch for signs of heat exhaustion! I don't know terribly much about the border collie breed (I'm a greyhound and Pit Bull girl, myself) but when I rescued my greyhound they said she could do miles if I slowly built up her endurance. I imagine it is the same for a breed better suited for distances, such as the border collie.
The heat of summer might not be a good time to have him do a full 10 miles, and I would definitely suggest stopping every few miles, just to ensure he isn't overdoing it, even once the endurance is built up.
