OK I'm not sure where i should start here so thought I'd start from the VERY beginning!! Laura was meant to be picking me up at 5.30 Saturday morning. I stupidly went out on Friday night with some friends and came home at 3ish, set 2 (!!) alarms for 4.45, seeing as last time i had gone out before i show i slept through my alarm, and i certainly didn't want a repeat of that!! So after finally getting into bed and my head spinning whilst on the pillow, i only remember by mum waking me up saying that it was 5.50!! AHHHH!!! Thankfully Laura had text me saying she was running late so wasn't too bad. I quickly got ready in a matter of 15 mins when she knocked on the door. SO lucky! We got there late, so missed walking most of our courses oops!! Thankfully for Norfolk next weekend, we're leaving Friday evening so we wont have this trouble again!
My first run was Graded 6/7 Jumping. I watched it for a little while only for Tracey to tell me that they were calling to the end already!! So off i ran to get Pie and then came back where i was straight on the line. I was really late with 2 turns which meant P had to snake round me... not good. Then at the end, looking back i should of put a reverse in after 19... he ran wide and ran past last fence. Bummer!!
Then on to NBC 1-7 Jumping, which was also a shambles! Again i didn't walk it, and didn't handle it how i wanted to either. Again my turns we late. He didn't seem as though he was jumping right though. Wasn't powering at all, and was really sluggish and slow :(
His last run of the day was Graded 6-7 Agility. I liked the course and actually thought that i could maybe get around it with out getting the usual E!! Again he was really sluggish and slow. And i ran off from a jump and he came with me. It wasn't a bad run though, although i was worried as to why he wasn't running properly, and being all pathetic and slow.
Saturday evening Laura and I went to the cinema to see Fame... don't go and see it, it was rubbish!! ha ha!! And Pie also had his first ever chicken wing too! He gulped it down and then started being all odd, and i started to panic, but thankfully he was fine!!
Sunday, couldn't really get much worse than the day before!! First run was Graded 6/7 Agility. I was late with my turn at number 2 which put me behind for the whole run. I won't go into detail about it other than it was possibly one of the worst runs of the whole entire show! Yes it really was that bad!!
Then onto Graded 6/7 Jumping.The course was quite tough, and he worked really well, just me being rubbish - no change there then!! He still didn't seem to be running at his full speed though.
Last run of the day for Pie was Combined 4-7 Helter Skelter. It was a fast, tight course and if i didnt get round it clear, then there was something seriously wrong!! the first dog to run actually wont the class in 13.23 - Nedlo Hezza Beauty. Dave is such a powerful dog and practically bounced everything. Pie and I managed a clear in 14.5 which wasn't too bad considering his build etc. Although he didn't bounce as much as i thought he did. He used to try and bounce everything but doesn't now, so maybe i should work a little on that. So we finished 20th in that... boo.
Roll on next weekend though where there is 4 proper runs a day :) My target out of 8 runs is 2 clears. So fingers crossed! Oh yeah and... I'm letting Laura run P in one of his jumping classes. Don't worry i shall be getting it on video :)
