So, Friday after work I went to Rockford so that Chris could practice jumping Rumor... he had only jumped Rumz once and that was last August... they did great! He had Rumor jumping 22'+ pretty consistantly... he looked awesome.
Saturday morning the boys and I went to Crystal Lake for a USDAA trial. Dylan got to play and had a really nice Standard run... all perfect except his missed dogwalk contact... bummer! He did, however, get Qs in PI Gamblers and PI Snooker -- I was glad to get Snooker out of the way :) Rumor also did very nicely. He got Qs in Advanced Gamblers and Advanced Snooker... both were pretty good runs, too. He didn't have a great Standard run, but his Grand Prix run (had it not been for 1 refusal at the weaves) would have been clean! Not too bad since I was having a hard time running since my tailbone still hurts a lot. We went back to Rockford Saturday afternoon and watched some friends jump at DockDogs.
Sunday Chris jumped the black dogs and I worked the event. I was absolutely amazed with how well Chris and Rumor did in Speed Retrieve. Until then, my personal best with Rumor was a 6.66 seconds at a club event... and low 7 seconds at a national event. Chris' 1st time out he got a 6.3 and his second jump of the wave he got another personal best.... 6.264! AND he thinks he can really get Rumz under 6 seconds... that would be fantastic. Clearly, Chris' reaction time is WAY better than mine! He made it to the Speed Retrieve Finals... didn't perform quite as well (with a false start), but ended up 8th -- I was very proud of them both! He had nice Big Air jumps with both Dylan and Rumor... no personal bests, but they were 2 wonderful teams.
Now... onto more agility... the boys won't see dock diving again until Nationals -- can't wait for that!
