I waited around two hours for my second run - my first time in Exc. A JWW! Mom was totally stressing out about memorizing the course because it looked confusing to her. But she was able to watch lots of team run it (the trial ran big to little dogs) and then she walked it a few times more than she usually does. I thought it was a fun course - I will admit that I did stop to sniff once but it was far enough away from the jump to not get a refusal - and mom once again abandoned her plan and ran outside jumps and stuff to motivate me. It worked - we Q'ed and got 1st place! Score:100, Time: 46.62, SCT: 46 (good thing mom ran weird to speed me up and too bad I took the time to sniff - we barely made time - guess they round down because we were technically over), YDS: 149. Here is the course map:
And here is the video of both of our runs:
I would write more, but I am so tired! I may be a bit of a wimp, but I'm glad we are not signed up to run tomorrow too!
Gotta zoom,
Ricky

Tables are stupid.
I thought you and your mom did great! Those standard course times must be tough, because I thought you were moving at a pretty good pace out there.
Congrats on your first Q in Excellent! That's awesome. See, your mom was all stressed for nothing. Your weaves were fantastic.
Khongrats!

Hey at least you dog gets on the table. Lol! Congrats on you Q! great job. Diana
Congratulations on getting a Q your first time out in Excellent! That's fantastic. I have to say that my favorite part of your standard run was your collapsed tunnel. I was beginning to wonder when you first went in, and then all of a sudden you just burst out of it!
Oh dear...am having trouble downloading the video - will have to come back and watch it later.
But congrats, Ricky, on your 1st trial!

Wow, CONGRATS a first AND a Q on your first time in excellent, that is pretty awesome. GREAT JOB~you guys looked terrific out there
Very nice Ricky! What's with that table thing anyway?! I agree with Marie, I was afraid you weren't going to do the chute...you must have been making an executive decision in there for a bit, ey? Then you just RAN out of it so fast! Grandma did a really good job on getting the video too, tell her THANKS! And congratulations on the Q and 1st place! My goodness!
Tables are hard after you worked up to running so much and then have to stop. You didn't seem your bubbly self but that is okay, even doggies have days where they would rather be out sniffing in the park then being in a noisy big room
Congrats! What a great jumpers run in your first time! And yes, they do round down for course time, but round up for MACH points
Congrats on your Q! What a good boy you are Ricky!
I've never liked the table, to me it always seems like it breaks the flow of the course. :) Yay Ricky, congrats, that's so great especially for your first time in EXCELLENT!! What a good doggie!
Ohhhh...I've seen longer time on the table than that, BOL!! You ran at my absolute favorite place to run EVER!!!!! Love that smelly dirt :) I thought you did great, congrats on the Q, those Exec course can be confusing sometimes.
Woofs, Johann
That was good Ricky! Nice weaving. And you mom can remember the course. How to you train her to do that???
your pal, Morgan
