Looks like Alex got hold of my phone earlier, he was pissed – said it took him hours to type the last entry. Guess he was trying to prove a point though… I don’t “blog” about him enough. I’ll take over from here though… thanks Chops!
Today didn’t quite go as planned. Alex ran his first run like he was launched out of a rocket, unfortunately more bars got in the way and paid the price. We also got disconnected when I had to yell at him for the bars. He didn’t Q which would have moved him into advanced for our next trial. Oh well. Standard was fun, just a single knocked double away from a Q. I just crowded him too much and caused it to fall. Otherwise it was a great run, we had fun!
Grand Prix was our last run today… also not a great one. He knocked the first jump, for which I corrected him, causing the rest of the opening to be a bit ugly. He also took an off course (wrong side of the tunnel – the big trap from that course) but we were otherwise able to complete the run.
Tomorrow, USDAA day three of three, our first DAM team event – we’ll let you know how that goes!
