Plan your work: Work your plan
I lay awake much of Friday night planning my approach to the weekend agility trial.  With 7 runs schedule, I had a lot to think about.

 

Plan your Work:
-Gamble early morning: Blow it, this will focus Phil for the rest and I don't appreciate the 5:30 wake-up call.
-Standard: I'll do the Q
-Pairs: I'll tease Phil with a run but delay to take the pressure off Corie.
-Jumpers: Best run of the day, I like the speed.
Sunday
-Snookers: If Phil can figure this out, I'll do the Q
-Standard: No. Phil couldn't handle 2 Q's in row.
-Jumpers: Don't need this after a long trial; I'll see if I can fit between the bars of a double jump.

 

Work your Plan:
-Gamble: Perfect, Mom's not watching so I just left the ring.
-Standard: Great fun, but OOPs, I slid off the table.   Maybe tomorrow.
-Pairs: I delayed the tunnel, Corie delayed the weaves.  Good enough for 1st place but no Q.  What a plan!
-Jumpers: I was inspired, greased lightning, super dog!  Bonehead forgot 1/2 the course. Please send resumes to Rusty@replacesupidpeople.net.
Sunday (Adapt the plan)
Again awake all night, I think Phil needs a Q to recover from the blunder last night.
-Snooker: Q and first place. See Phil's not un-trainable.
-Standard: I was so pleased with Phil's morning run I forgot how weave poles work.  Then he tried to Kill me.  He was so far behind on the dog walk that I looked back to find him and fell off.
-Jumper: I enjoyed a good run but after that last stunt Phil doesn't deserve a Q so I reverted to the original plan and explored the double jump.  Interesting construction there.
