Saturday STD - NQ

Sky jumped the DW contact.  The DW was the second obstacle, I pulled him from the course.

Saturday JWW - Q - 3rd place

Didn't run the course as I walked it and had to improvise. Sky had trouble getting grip on the rubber matting surface.  He could not brake very effectively either and nearly overran the weaves entrance.  Video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wof-szNLVaE

Saturday ISC STD - NQ

Sky missed the DW contact and I pulled him from the course.

Sunday STD - Q

Sky was really confused by the DW criteria - we waited in the blue zone for nearly 6 seconds before slowly descending down through the yellow contact zone.  Pulling him from Saturday's STD runs definitely caused him to think about how I wanted the DW to be performed.  This was our slowest ever qualifying STD run.

Sunday  JWW - NQ

I rear crossed the weave entry and pulled Sky out of the weaves.  This is not the first time this has happened - something to practice more.  This error cost us a double Q.  Everything else about the run was fine, Sky was still struggling for grip and therefore we did not record a great time.

Sunday ISC JWW - NQ

Sky knocked the higher asymmetric jump bar - he's never seen these in competition before and clearly miss judged the jump.  He also took an off course jump which eliminated us.  Overall I was pleased with his jumping performance on this run.
