Bromley Farm Flyball (with extra snow!)

It was -7 when we arrived at Bromley Farm on Sunday morning. That’s really very cold. Due to the cold and the snow, several teams pulled out and so Extreme re-organised the divisions from 4 to 3. Worked really well, even if it did mean two of our teams racing against one another.

Kim and Mollie were running in the bottom team, Kim ran well but made a few uncharacteristic mistakes on the box and Mollie was completely overexcited all morning and didn’t run at her best. We actually pushed most of the teams to 4 or 5 legs, but we lost everything in the end and finished 6th (oops!)

I was actually expecting Dylan to be off-form again (as per Saturday), but he actually ran pretty well. He’s running just under 5s line-to-line, which isn’t perfect but is better. He also didn’t stutter into the first hurdle at any point during the day, which was promising. Apparently it only takes him 8 months to get comfortable running into strange dogs, who knew? The team finished 1st and ran a fastest time of 19.46, which wasn’t too bad considering the 14″ height and the cold weather!

Absolutely brilliant to watch Extreme Racers break the 17s and run a 16.95 in the afternoon too!

Finally, everyone should check out the Flyball Seminar that Flyball Fever are hosting in the new year. I really hope all the flyballers out there take up the opportunity, it’s too good to miss!
