April competition report

We trekked to 3 competitions this month (10 starts). I am happy to report a HUGE improvement in speed, which at first took some getting used to :). We completed some courses which I thought were very interesting and challenging, and as a team we are clearly moving forward. What we really need right now is sequence practice, but the weather is against us there. The only chance we get to run at the moment is at competitions.

Runs with results (time faults only :) :)):
1.4.2012 agility, +0.11 (unkind electronic timer! and a new Bigi-speed record of 3.57 m/s; 10th)
7.4.2012 jumping, +1.88 (18th)
14.4.2012 agility, +4.60 (8th; a very over-tired dog, speed 3.29 m/s). I was especially pleased with this one as it was a super-difficult course!, although 3 starts in a cold place after a 5 hour drive is clearly too much


Here's a picture (by Ari Korteniemi). I believe it shows Bigi eagerly on his way to an off-course tunnel - his in thing at the moment :) I am happy that he eagerly goes anywhere :)
