12/28/23. Starts

 12/28/23 Starts. - 51 degrees - wet field with some standing water - I was interrupted and tracks got older than I intended. S5W10F5. He misses 50% of hot dogs. At starts - scuff 5, food, w5, food, w5, then S5W10F5.  Turns are S5 (before and after) with food at S5 after the turn, then resume W10F5.

Track 1 - 42 min old - a little confused at start, found the hot dog and figured it out, I had to keep a short lead to keep him on the track, he wanted to go downwind. Question mark turn. He did better on the downwind 2nd leg, slight surfing, so I kept the lead short. Good down at article.

Track 2 - 52 min old - better start - stayed closer to track until we went through standing water, I think he didn’t want to get his legs wet! Good open turn - stayed right on track for 2nd leg and good down at article.

Track 3 - 65 min old - good start - lots of surfing - had to keep leash short - good turn - 2nd leg still had surfing - good down at article.
