100 – MXJ Leg #13 – 9 points

A very good run, great speed throughout with tight turns.

NQ – Missed DW contact.

Not good speed to start but did have a tight turn on the wrong course dogwalk option.  Solid run until missing the dogwalk contact which was the second to last obstacle.  I thought the judge got the call wrong when I was running it but the video proved the judge was right and I was wrong.

NQ – Went around a jump.

A great NQ run.  Very good speed, good lateral distance, tight lines.  Went around the jump that Tori and Kiva also missed with different handling choices.  It was berner unfriendly.  ;-)

100 – MX Leg #5 – 16 points

Nice run, good speed throughout.  Although a couple of extra strides coming out of chute still proud she pulled off the wrong course jump that was very popular.  She came out of tunnel before weaves so fast that I was afraid she would miss weave entry but she made it.

100 - MXJ Leg #14 – 10 points

Another great run.  Handled tough sequence after weaves perfectly.  Nice send to jump in upper right corner.

NQ – Wandered by teeter, missed a weave as I tried to get way ahead.

Odd early wander by the teeter.  It looked a little like avoidance but no idea why it would have been.  Probably just general lack of focus (although very early in the course, it was facing exit corner).  Did great on tough sequence with serpentine to aframe to turn tunnel.  Not a tight turn to the tunnel but it’s not a skill she knows so still good of her to do it.
