New tournament, and I think we all really wanted this weekend off, especially as we had scratch teams and bottom seedings. Turned out to be a beautiful venue and it was actually a really lovely weekend’s racing. I also got to see Extreme Racers get the new British Record – down to 16.42 – and it was magic.<\/p>\n
Kim and Mollie both struggled a little, they’re both running steady 5.2-5.4s these days, occasionally a little faster. The weather and the draw conspired against us and the team weren’t in competition really at all.<\/p>\n
Dylan was in a 6 dog team in a 7 team division with no height dog. As bottom seed we thought we had absolutely no chance, especially when as it was such a close, sunny day, but we ran a new seed time and came 2nd! Bit of a shock there! I was really chuffed with how Dylan ran, he was confident and smooth and looked really very good. He’s so brilliantly fit at the moment too, consistent times all day, and he came out of the ring at the end of day and was bouncing around on his toes.<\/p>\n
Mollie and Dylan both got their FD-Silver awards as well, my good little collies!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
