QQ #9 WSOTC
I took Friday off so I could do two days of WSOTC at Skykomish park in Monroe. It is such a beautiful park and a great place to have a trial.
Friday started off with standard, the course went tire, jump, aframe and Hannah spun right in front of the aframe. I think I started off a little tentative, being worried about her contact. But the rest of the run was gorgeous and fast and I even did a blind cross!
The JWW run was ugly, but a Q. Hannah was just quite sticky. And barky.
Saturday the standard course looked easy, walked like it had good flow, but when you got out there to run it, it had some difficult angles. Hannah and I Q'd but it was a very seat of the pants run. There was one incident where I kicked Hannah. She was heading right off the teeter, and I was veering left. She collided with my leg and I heard "oompf". Luckily, no one was hurt and we made it thru.
JWW seemed hard. But we ran it without any issues, except at the end everyone was rear crossing the second to the last jump. I tried, but I could tell Hannah was having none of it and was ready to turn back to me, so I just ran around it and redirected her. Not pretty, but it got the job done. Need to work on rear crosses.
