A late update, the first day was cold, wet, windy, but we hung in there. Sunday was very much better.
Luc had a great weekend. I am really working on the mental approach to each run. I have not got to each one where I am in the right place, but I will get there!
Luc earned his final advance snooker, earned an advance jumpers, one more to go to be able to move to Masters, was first overall in Steeplechase on Sunday. We also earned 2 Master Standards which gave us our Master Standard Title.
One of the coaches I have been going to for a very long time, Kathy Keats, said we should be tracking our yds per second. its the only way we will know if we are improving with our handling and timing.
The Standard run on Sunday was fabulous. They had a table in it which adds 5 seconds to your time and even with that at a course that was 180 yds, he did it in 40 seconds flat, which works out to 4.5 yds per second. There was electric timer being used.
The steeplechase was a blur, Standard Course time was 47 seconds ,174 yds.
We had to do 2 A Frames and 2 sets of 6 weave poles, Luc's time was 32.56 seconds which makes his yds per second at 5.34
His advance jumpers was 132 yds , standard course time at 41 seconds, Luc's time was 21.76 for 6.06 yds per second.
Regionals is fast approaching, Luc and I will work on standard courses and learn to just run and go. the last week before regionals we are going to work on jump grids and small stations such as weave entries, distance, obstacle discrimination, and box work with jumps.
