Warm-up

This weekend was a "warm-up" both literally and figuratively!  First the temps are way up here-snow is melting and mud is forming like crazy.  But I'm also considering this weekend's trial a warm-up for the slew of spring trials we have coming up.  Because of the snow we didn't get in much training before the weekend but I was still really proud of how the girls ran.

Lyric was super fast and focused-getting some of her best course times ever,  no sight-seeing or visiting and no hesitation or lack of confidence about any obstacles.  However she did not successfully weave on the first attempt on any of her runs and so did not get any Q's.  We also had a bit of issue of me pulling her off a few jumps but that's just working on our timing. 

Legend was great too.  Saturday she did her random refuse the A-frame the first time thing but that was her only error.  She then Q'd in JWW on a tricky course.  Sunday we had a miscommunication about the tunnel but otherwise she ran very well in standard and then went on to get another JWW Q with one of her fastest times ever. 

I got to use my video camera for the first time too so I might post some of the videos later on.  We brought Po along and pretty much everyone thought he was cute but no takers yet.  We are off to a three day trial this weekend so I am hoping for more good runs!
