Saber

Location Hanover High School

Weather: 38 degrees, Sunny, Wind NE 5 mph

Time In: 9:18 am, Time Run: 9:48 am, Age 30 minutes

My goal was to do something achievable today since our last outing was not good. Saber has shown she is comfortable with 30 minutes, so I decided to start back there. I put in about a 400 yard track.

We warmed up with two asphalt HIT tracks with no age. The first was a serpentine, which I made too tight and she wanted to skip ahead but did ok. The second was similar with 90 degree corners and toward the end I would stop spraying for section and then pick back up. She did really well on that one.

The we ran the track in the map below. She did really well. I could see her questioning on the long concrete sidewalk. I might add water back to the concrete next time. She got distracted at the last turn when a dog barked at her. She managed to put her self back together and finished well. I may have assisted too much on that turn, but she was very offended by the barking dog. Her article indications were really good.

Syd

Location: Holly Ridge

Weather: 33 degrees, Sunny, no wind.

Time In: 8: 00 am, Time Run: 8: 15 am, Age: 15 minutes

Two turn track with turns flagged. Scuff 5, walk 10, food every other rotation.

Syd did really well. He missed most of the food drops. He wanted to go past the first turn, but when I stopped he checked around and found the turn. The second turn was really good. I think the longer grass helped. Consistency would probably also help.
