Jonah was fantastic at class tonight.
The first course started with a fast opening line of jump-jump-A frame...and then a backside of a jump. It looked nasty, but Jonah did great. I ended up pushing to the backside off the A-frame and then serping the landing side. It worked really well. Everyone else in class put in a FC after the A-frame. I did that the second time and somehow did manage to get it done in time, but it was much messier. I liked my push better.
Other than that, there was a hard pull out of a tunnel. The dogs saw the weaves while they were in the tunnel, but they had to turn hard to get a good approach onto the DW. I called hard and Jonah did great.
Then after the DW there was a perfect place for a Ketschker, and it worked great. Aside from that, there was a push out of the weaves and a flip from the DW to a tunnel, but nothing caused trouble.
So, the first time through we ran clean and fast. The second time I tried to do a section as a gamble and got a little too ambitious. I wasn't moving as he came out of a tunnel and called "out," but it wasn't enough. On our second attempt I hung back more so I could take a few steps as he came out of the tunnel. That worked well.
The second course had a tricky opening that looked like this:
I didn't want to lead out, so I ended up playing it pretty conservatively, and I RC'd the poles. It worked, but he definitely didn't enter at full speed. Later I did 1-3 again and managed to BC between 2 and 3. It would have been a lot faster, but I dropped my bait bag which was a bit of a distraction :). The rest of the course ran very well and quite fast.
I'll upload today's running plank video tomorrow--got to get to bed for tonight. It was good, though. Tomorrow I'll put the table up to its full height.
