745 to go

Today's jumpers course was one of the harder courses I've seen in awhile (and reportedly the hardest one all weekend-I was not at the trial on Friday) and threw a lot of people and dogs for a loop. But Legend ran it great. Go figure-the only thing I can predict about her is that she is unpredictable! So we got out first MXJ leg and our first 5 MACH points. It was not a super time but certainly respectable-placed about 8th in a good sized 20 inch class.

She was slower in standard (it was getting hot, don't know if that played a part) but was doing ok until she took an extra jump. Even with that she still easily finished under course time. Overall she's running better, with more confidence, and less stress. But I know she can get a lot faster-hopefully as we continue to work at home that will transfer to the ring.

So now it's 5 points down, 745 and 20 double Q's to go. This could take awhile.
