Vixen Wins the Marathon
Vixen just keeps rolling.
Today she scored highest in what is called the Marathon, a multi-challenge event that involves running, flying, and delivering a loaded sleigh over a long distance under harsh North Pole conditions.
She failed to set a record but given the weather at the North Pole today no one would have set a record.
Vixen was up against Donner, Rudolph, Thor, The Mighty Mick, and Franco covering a distance of 40 miles, half of it required at ground level. She easily beat the entire field by more than 2 minutes, surprising just about every reindeer expert at the North Pole.
Two weeks ago Vixen wasn’t even scheduled for this event.
But judges changed the event to a qualifying level, meaning she needed to at least compete in the event to qualify to win the games. Her trainer signed her up.
Nobody expected Vixen to do well in this event. Donner has won this event 12 years in a row and it was expected he would so again this year.
With just a few days left in these games Vixen is now the heavy favorite to win it all.
We will keep you updated as the games continue.

Thank you, Elf Harold! Wow, it’s Incredible! No one can’t stop Vixen! The marathon sounds like a triathlon! I’m curious how her instructor trained her while she recovered from her condition. Donner is very strong, too. I’m glad Mighty Mick can participate in the game. How about Trixie? I hope everyone enjoys the remaining games and celebrates their contributions to each other! I’m cheering for all of them. Merry Christmas! XD
