The AAC Alberta/NWT Regional Championships are in just a few days. We are leaving Thursday for Edmonton. Steeplechase is Friday, and the actual events are on Saturday/Sunday. I think I am excited. :o)
This will be Wicca's fourth regionals and each year she has gotten better and better. This year has been a little rough so far, but I think we have our groove back. She had a great last "hurrah" at a funmatch this past weekend- her startlines, contacts and jumping were all very, very good. It has left me feeling pretty confident in our ability, and our teamwork. She is a pretty fantastic dog and as long as I do my job she will do hers!
I have a few reminders for myself this weekend.
1) Take a deep breathe before every run
2) Visualize the course
3) Support the jumps
4) Run!
5) Smile at my dog :)
My goals are to stay connected with my dog on each course, know where I am going, and handle my dog to the best of my abilities. Doesn't sound so hard right?!
