I repeat, Such an Amazing Experience!!
Nationals was so so so much fun!!
Absolutely Awesome!
On Saturday we ran Gamblers first. We had a good opening with 30 points. 30 points, but he ran well. He got his contacts and did everything he was told :) We did not get the gamble. We had some buzzer mix ups.. 3 rings running gamblers, and yes, they do tell you what your buzzer sounds like, but when I'm running I just don't think about that. Oh well. At least, he ran well :)
Standard was next. I really liked this course. A lot. It ran fast, and I have to say it was one of our best Standards this year. One of our fastest for sure. Clean and 41.84 seconds :) I remember at the start of this year when we ran Standards in 50 seconds or more. So nice to see improvement!! Such a good feeling when we came out of the ring :) We placed 5th in this run!!

Jumpers was our last run of the day. This run went really well. Really nice course, too. At one point it would have been faster to do a RC instead of a wrap. I walked it as both ways, and I planned to do the wrap. As I was not sure he would read the RC properly. (we have not done them at such a sharp angle before. something new to practice) But, when I was running I thought the RC would actually be better, I deceled and forgot to tell Jazz to go on and we got a refusal. I got him back over the jump, and the rest was clean :) Even though we got the refusal, I was very happy with the rest of the run. We had two nice FCs, a RC and a Serp in the rest of the run. All of which he did super :)
Such a great day! The awards after were so exciting. It was nice to cheer everyone on as they went up to the stage!
We even got a 5th in Standard!! I was so proud :)
