Sunday 5 August 2012

Stockbridge, clouds and silver linings…

The Rebounds and Racers went off to Stockbridge.

Chewy, Muttley, Juno, Ozzy, Tosca in the Rebounds

Milly, Harry, Benji, Alfie, Summer in the Racers

Rebounds raced on Saturday and had a torrid time, finally getting a running order that worked in the afternoon.

Won 3, lost 2 and came 3rd overall … so not a bad result considering we were seeded last, we even beat the Dons !

The Dons  243 22.01
Essex Extras 229B 22.24
Shooting Star Rebels 001D 22.82
Fantastic 4 Fire Balls 214C 22.99
Buccaroos 025B 23.51
Rooky Rebounds 202B 23.69

We had problems with the box triggering, but after speaking with Delta Flyball team, who have the same box as us, we have made a few adjustments … should be running sweet as a nut at the champs for low hitting dogs like Tosca and Lacey.

Sunday was much better, Summer, Alfie, Harry and Benji doing the most of the racing, set a great time of 19.26.

Seeded forth in tough division

Kennet Specials 198K 19.64
Lightning Hurricanes 217N 19.70
Up and Running Ricochets 289A 19.83
Rooky Racers 202 19.94
Up and Running  289 20.02
Essex Express 229A 20.13

But came first after winning 5 out of 5 !, great result!… just need to do that at the Champs in two weeks time !
