Gorgie's had a fault in both her Team Standard run and Grand Prix Semi finals. Even though we faulted in the GP SF run, that was one heck of a ride Miss Gorgie! Oh and she did fantastic when I worked her on the sheep they had out there!
Handsome ran his PV Standard run clean. I front crossed too much to get to the teeter and almost put him over a nearby jump. Luckily I was able to get him back, but it cost us time. We ended up in 20th place. In PV Jumpers we had one bar and ended up in 23rd place from 9th with the extra 5 seconds added on.
Handsome's team "High Speed" was in 37th place as of yesterday. I thought the knocked bar with the added time would not help us to move up. So I went back to the hotel and started to unload and relax for the evening. Well what a surprise when I saw the Performance Versatility Team report and saw that we were in 16th place out of 178 teams!!! Back to the trial site to run relay under the lights with the other 23 other teams that made the cut! Now THAT was freak'n awesome running in that event. I still hear the cheering in my head. Thank you friends!
One of the coolest parts was walking towards the arena to do our run. It was dark, quiet, no agility equipment, and very few people in the first part. Then as I continued to walk... I heard the people cheering for the other teams running, and then I came into the light. I was overwhelmed with emotions and stunned still that we were a part of this. No more doubting Handsome... ever!
Thank you Handsome for making yet another big event awesome and memorable.
Two more runs tomorrow morning! Performance and Masters Challenge Standard.
Here's a photo of the sheep and arena that I got to work my dogs in between agility runs. Wow, best of both worlds out here!
