No Fear!

Well, it's been a long break since my last post here. A lot has happened, but we are really looking forward to a great 2013.  As I alluded to in a previous post, we left Full Speed Ahead along with a close group of friends to create the Breakin' Out Flyball Racing Team.  We now practice on Saturday mornings, which has worked out so much better.  We leave practice and have the whole weekend ahead of us!

I won't go into the details of the split, but I truly feel it was the best thing to do for both clubs.  We will miss our friends that remained with FSA, but look forward to growing our new team.  We are going to remain part of the OKPaws Canine Sports Club, which will help during the transition.  Our new logo is below.  We have t-shirts and hoodies on order, so we'll be styling the new colors in February at Hyper Flight's Barkin in Bonham 4.5 tournament.

Zio had a rough 2012 with injuries, so he and I are both hoping that is a thing of the past.  He missed three tournaments and a frisbee competition due to injury, but it's been good to see him running at practice for the last three months.  I've kept the props consistent on turns, so I'm really hoping that the muscle memory will kick in.  His turns are nearly flawless every time and I would really like to see his times if he continued do them like that in a tournament.  We simulate as best we can in practice, so I'll keep my fingers crossed!  The other good thing is that John's Lucy is going to take over the start dog spot.  I'd rather not have Zio run the extra races and John has been very consistent with good starts.  More to come, but the team lineup will be Lucy, Zio, Maverick, and Luna to start the year.
