This past weekend was the NADAC trial in Vancleave, MS. Friday was miserable! Cold, rainy, windy...a day for survival of the fittest! Saturday was better and Sunday was cool, but pleasant.
We survived and had some great runs, too! Guy got his first Elite Standard leg - NADAC is about speed and it was so cold - he was flying!
Unfortunately, speed kills, too. Hoopers was a bust for both Guy and Prize - her first time ever in the ring - for they were speeding around more than paying attention to my directions. They had a ball though and that's important.
Prize also did a few "bonus" jumps in Jumpers, but Guy got a leg in Open Jumpers.
Guy finished his Novice Tunneler's and Novice Touch'N Go titles - Yay!
Prize did well in Weavers, too... but she missed a jump.. oh, well.
All wasn't lost on Prize - she got her first Novice Tunneler's leg and a third place! It was so much fun running lickety split through all those tunnels!
If you remember that a trial is simply an event you enter to find out what else you need to train for, you will have a better outlook on your results...or lack of. I found out that Ms Prize needs to go over a lot more A Frames and dogwalks in different places so she'll understand that it's okay and fun and not all obstacles look the same.
Now, if only my aching muscles will let me walk again....
