Cynosport 2014" day 1
Well, I said I wanted to keep track of things at Cynosport 2014 (I sometimes wonder if I have early Alzheimer's) so here I go. If I sound like I'm bragging in these posts, well maybe I am, damn, I'm so stoked about my runs today! Ten ill get to the grumpy stuff, which of course, since I had a grand day, doesn't matter! Had I had a shitty day, man, I'd be all over the grumpy stuff.
First run was stoopid, 'Power & Speed'...fun run, but not for a warm up run IMO. You did about 5 obstacles, then onto the numbered part...I think UKI does this. It gobbled teams up...but now my incredible, amazing Tru! He ACED it! We had one HAIL MARY and pulled it off...whew! Ended up 16th out of about 70 dogs! Whoa! Fun!
Biz did great too, ACED her teeter! GOOD GIRLIE! Robert Guiterrez (Biz's godfather) had been working the ring by the tuner....she got one sniff of him (even tho he left the ring) and she as looking for him! Hahaha...made me happy, as you know she adores them to do that!
Next was Steeplechase quarter finals...and guess who was the FIRST dog on the entire event! Yup! ME AND TRU!
I have to thank Lisa Bowers here, for instilling in me that all local trials are to prepare you for Nationals, so I decided it was no big deal, I've gone first many, many times, and laid down an easy going run that ended up being 9th place! THANK YOU LISA! Sorry, can't drag video to this on the ipadfor some reason.
Biz ran, and pulled out of the tunnel, and missed an aframe contact...no worries, she was spy and fast!
GP quart finals were next for Tru, and he ACED THAT TOO, what? A perfect Q day? Wow. Tru ended up 16th, without me even considering pushing him...just running our course, and wow.
SO...ON TO SEMI FINALS IN GP AND STEEPLECHASE, yahoo!
Now the sucky part...I gotta go to bed, cuz I gotta get up at 5:30 for a Snooker briefing at 6:30 am! Yikes!!!!
Having fun, loving seeing MW folk do so well, and love seeing all the dogs and handlers having fun. Nicely nite!
