Friday at McCook started off well with three great (but not great enough) agility runs. Our first run was in Jumpers with Weaves. Joe’s strategy was right on the money, but unfortunately his execution was off by about two feet. I was required to enter the tunnel on the right side. Joe did a nice front cross in an attempt to block the tunnel left side, but he ended up showing me the perfect entrance to the left side, which I took without hesitation. It’s too bad, because the rest of the run was beautiful. Here is my Jumpers with Weaves run:
In our second run, agility Standard Class, the fault was mine. There is only a second of lost focus between winning and not qualifying. I spent that second looking at the bar setter sitting in the back right corner before sailing right past the entrance to the weave poles. Again, except for one critical error, this, too, was a beautiful run. Here is my second agility run:
The third agility run was in FAST Class. In Excellent FAST Class you need to have your handler send you from a distance through a series of obstacles. I followed Joe’s signal a bit too closely and did not make it. Let’s take a look:
Thanks for reading. Now it’s on to day two!
