NQ – Missed jump, went back into tunnel after coming out (very weird, thought/did find food??)


Missed a jump out of a straight tunnel in the middle of incredibly tough sequence.  I made blind cross before tunnel but still couldn’t beat her out of tunnel for push to jump.  Couldn’t pull to jump because of wrong courses around it and after it.  Got tough jump discrimination but then coming out of a straight tunnel she snapped her head to the floor sniffing and went back into tunnel, almost came out the original entry side then turned around in tunnel.  I assume she found food in the tunnel.

NQ – Wrong course jump, wrong course tunnel


One of those “put head down and slowly do wrong course” mistakes.  Slow weaves but had a nice run after that although she got a wrong course tunnel when, since I had NQd I tried a pull to the correct side of the tunnel instead of a front cross before it, which I would have done if I was qualifying.

NQ – dropped bar
Jump to the weaves start and she weaves as slow as I would expect with that course design.  Came out of weaves with great speed.  Dropped bar at tunnel call-off spot.

NQ – Wrong course jump


She took a very popular wrong course jump on the way to the table.  I drifted backwards which didn’t help but still surprising since I got the front cross that wasn’t easy to get, just for trying to call off that jump.  Course had a late jump where exit could be with a turn back into the course which she handled great.  Tight turn, no sign of “running at exit”.

NQ – Dropped bar


A big puppy sit start and she barely cleared the first bar.  Dropped a bar when I called hard at a spot I was concerned she would “head for exit”.  She didn’t but call dropped the bar.  Nice, clean finish through technical stretch.

NQ – Ran past aframe, wrong course off aframe


Solid run going on a tough course.  Very slow weaves.  Looked like she was going to have it but ran past aframe as she turned toward home. I did just assume it but not sure why she ran by, if it was approach angle or heading for home attitude.  With the NQ I tried to “enforce” bottom on aframe but she ran past me to wrong course.  There was a difficult five obstacle sequence that we did a little differently than most teams and it went great.
