NADAC Agility 7/28/12

Tara was excellent at our agility trial today.  It was our first trial in approximately 5 months.  Our 2nd attempt at NADAC agility.  Our first attempt at NADAC agility resulted in 2/6 qualifying runs -- today's attempt was 4/5 q's.  We did so much better!

First up was regular, which I was dreading, since we seem to have worse luck at standard style courses. I was also worried about her missing her stopped contacts, since that was an issue that last time we trialed as well.  Today she hit all of her stopped contacts, every single one without any problem -- Good girl!

Regular Time was 42.04/50.91sec, 3.33YPS with a 1st place

Chances we nqed because she crossed the gamble line -- it was still a very nice run, she did everything I asked of her, she only crossed the line because I wasn't clear enough in my communications. 

Touch N' Go was 40.66/46.15sec, 3.69yps with a1st place - beautiful run

Weavers was 40.86/48.33sec, 3.55yps with having to correct 2 sets of weave poles -- still a nice run and 2nd place

Tunnelers was 31.40/37.75sec, 4.81yps with a first place

Way to go Tara!  I didn't get any video today which was a bummer, but I cared more about how today felt than looked, and it felt great.  We were exhausted, so we didn't stick around to finish out the day with our jumpers run. Next time.

So now Tara has 2/3 legs in Novice Weavers and Tunnelers, and 1/3 legs in Novice Regular and Touch N'Go.
