Tough mental weekend for
me. Friday and Saturday were very
humid. Four of five NQs were in the last
two obstacles of the course.
Friday: 8/31/13

NQ – Dropped bar late.
Solid start. A little loss of focus before the triple. Not an easy weave entry but got them. Slow weaves which is unusual late in the course. Dropped bar on second to last jump which I did as a big push. Sadly, I didn’t know she dropped it until much later in the day.

NQ – Stepped off teeter, late in course.
Pokey run, it was outside and rather hot. Barely made it up on table. Picked up the pace a little after weaves. Back to a slow dogwalk. Then it was a tough angle to teeter but she approached good enough to get on but chose not to.

NQ – Dropped double, the last obstacle
Good speed to start especially considering the humidity. Paused at weave start but then weaved quite fast. Very nice turns on path to tunnel. Dropped bar on the double, the last jump. Running to exit gait, not thinking about jumps.

NQ – Walked around table, ran past dogwalk, wrong course weaves after chute
Ran as if it was sunny, humid and hot, because it was. But still managed to do it all. Glacial slow weaves but she did them and then just walked around the table. Ran by dogwalk, not sure if it was bad approach or not, doesn’t look like it on video and didn’t feel like it live. Late wrong course as neither Shasta or I were too happy being in the heat and sun at that point!
Sunday: 9/2/13

NQ – Broke open tire, last obstacle
Run by Kris because I was frustrated by lack of standard success of late, didn’t want Shasta to feel it from me. Cooler day. Solid run early. Very nice table. A late front cross before weaves but Shasta managed it. Kiva ran past tire on Kris so Kris overhandled with Shasta and called her off of it. As she tried to resend, Shasta had poor spacing and crashed the tire fairly bad.
100 - MXJ Leg #20 – 8 points
It had finally cooled down on this run. Slow through weaves then picked up the pace for the rest of the course. Nice front crosses on the second half of the course.
