On Tuesday I managed to make the podium twice, Scott had 2 excellend runs, coming 3rd in the open class and 2nd in the class 3 jumping. We had a 5r in the agility which was my error but the run was lovely.
Today has been a rest day after an epic party night, and I mean epic! Tomorrow I am judging for most of the day so doubt il get to run anything.

Fionia Cup Update
Up to Monday 12th:
Hello from Denmark.
I arrived safely after an epic journey from the UK. I left on Friday at 8pm on the Eurotunnel (it had taken me 7 hours to get to there!) and I drove until 5.30am Saturday morning (with a few coffee breaks!) but it ment I avoided traffic in Hamburg especially.
I judged yesterday the open class. It was a good course and made people work, but also kept a good flow as all levels were in the class.
I also ran my dogs in the afternoon. Scott was wild in the agility (2 poles) and he clipped one in the jumping. I got a big clap so I was convinced I was clear, but in fact he had taken a pole. Jack was clear and we came 8th in the class 3 jumping.
This morning (Monday) I have been competing. I am not judging until Thursday now, so today and tomorrow I can compete properly. However both of this morning’s runs were bad. Scott was even more wild and took a pole as well as trying to take every jump off course. Jack missed the flat tunnel out.
I have class 3 agility and jumping with Scott in a bit, and class 3 jumping with Jack later also.
I will come back and update later in the week.

Fionia Cup
This Friday I am driving to Denmark for the Fionia Cup event, held in Ringe. I am judging and also competing for the week with Jack & Scott, it should be a good week. I am very much looking forward to it.
Last weekend, Scott made the Championship final, and had 2 x 5th & 2 x 6th places, which I was pleased with as some courses were very hard.
I will try and update but not sure if I will have the net in Denmark. For now.. goodbye!

Update
This weekend was the trials for the worlds.
Over the course of the four runs I had 2 x 4th places, a 5r and then I pushed Scott a bit too hard at in the final run, and we got ‘Ed’.
All of Scott’s runs were great and the two little mistakes cost us, as well as the somewhat dubious scoring system that was used at the events, where clear rounds did not score points, and 5f did... a little confusing indeed. Our selection day has always been run this way, with 4 runs over 1 day.
Congratulations to all the team members who qualified, it is a very strong team going in all three height categories. Well done.
Next weekend is Tuffley show.
