Final Warmup Tournament in Bonham

Fresh back from our final warmup and we have four weeks to be ready for the championships. Although the weekend started out rough by revealing that we still had not resolved some old issues, we worked through it and have a workable plan for the championships. I really think the new running order will work out best for the championships.

The new lineup is Zio, Cody, Wisp, and Jean-Luc. Daniel did a great job moving Wisp to the third position as he quickly got in the groove of passing again. Jean-Luc seems to be doing much better by starting closer and using Susan's patented water-boarding training technique. Zio did pretty good on his starts as I learned where the magic start position is located. He was feeling very racy and I eventually ended up back around the 62 foot mark. Cody's speeds dropped after the first few races, so we are hoping he isn't injured. I know Michele felt bad and was pressing pretty hard, but I think he just needs to rest up.

I think the dogs need to do some recovery this week and we'll get back to practicing twice a week soon.
