Week end of work.

We had a busy week-end last week. Saturday we were at the Agility trials at SDK&ODC then Sunday was the Gawler Rally trials. The pic shows me coming out of the Offset Figure 8 station on my way to a third place in the Rally Advance B class.I got two qualifications towards my RAE title, 3 more to go, just not many trials that I can go in before November.
The Agility trials went very well, except for a big mix up at the start. I wanted to do the dog walk but Keith insisted on a bar, so we did neither. Apart from that we had a good round. Hannah was clear but over time. Jumping went a bit haywire too, so we ended the day with no passes but we had a good time.

Masters Pass No.5

Here it is. The instant I got my fifth pass in Masters Agility! It was a close thing. We were at the Para Districts trial on Saturday, we had only the morning session for a pass because Keith was judging in the afternoon. I was going very well with Keith calling the jumps and I was nailing every one of them, until Dopey Dad sent me to the wrong entrance of the tunnel. Panic stricken calls let me know what was going on, so I cut back to the other end and then into the correct entry to the tunnel. Judge Noeline and half the crowd were in fits laughing at Keith trying to get back into position for the rest of the course, but we did it with a couple of seconds to spare.
Hannah had a good run in  her Agility Masters, with only a couple of errors, but we both messed up in Jumping.
In the Afternoon Trials, with Kathy handling us, we had a bit of a disaster when both of us went up the dog walk instead of a bar, so we were disqualified. In the Jumping I ran with Mel and we almost made it with a mis-communication near the end which cost us about 3 seconds and we finished up one and a bit seconds over time but clear. Hannah also got a clear round but with time faults.
