    PG1!!! - updated with video links

    We finally got our PG1 title on Saturday!  I wish I'd had the time or the strength to transfer the video last night to upload, but I was so tired after getting home on Sunday.  It was a hair raising experience!  lol...
     
    Kota ran wonderfully with me through the whole course.  I timed our route well for a nice flowing run that led us right to the beginning of the Gamble for a great entrance.  I had my arm out, we were running and I cued "jump".  Then I lowered my arm ever so slightly and he pulled off the first jump!!  Arrggghhhhh!!!  So I spun him around and sent him on again.  He got the first jump, didn't see the off-course tunnel and went over the last two jumps under time!!! 

    We've been after this Q for a few months now to finish out our level one titles.  We've entered a total of 10 Gamblers runs in P1 since 2005.  He got his first Q in it on 8/18/07.  Got his second in the next trial on 10/13/07.  Then missed two of them and got it on Saturday. Whew!  Now we can enter all Level 2 and hopefully move through it faster than Level 1. Confused

    We also Q'd in Snooker with 42 points.  Would have Q'd in Jumpers but I made my front cross too wide and pulled him off, so he back jumped the next jump before I got him back to me.  Standard involved a pop out of the weaves at number 10. Sad and a table set at 8" which he jumped off the back of.  So no Q in that.  Pairs was ok, he took an off course tunnel because I slowed down too much to get him collected, and he viewed it as a turn and the last jump was only about 4 feet from the tunnel entrance.  But my pairs partner has problems with weaves, so after they redid them 5 times, we were WAY over course time.  Oh well, next time.  I entered Pairs just for a third, short run of the day.

    So overall a great weekend!  Big Smile

    Finally uploaded our winning Gambler's run.  It wasn't the prettiest run but it was a Q nonetheless!

    Our P2 Jumpers run, no Q (and if I hadn't done my FC so badly, it would have been a Q!)
