1/31/24. 3 Turn track

 1/31/24. 3 Turn Track 8:15am, 38 degrees, light breeze, overcast, everything is damp, S5W20F10

Leg 1: Good start, tracked two feet off to side of footsteps but stayed straight. Good turn.

Leg 2: Really right in the footsteps for the first half, some surfing near the woods but back and forth about two feet to either side straight on down the leg. Fantastic turn!!!

Leg 3: so good! Stayed about 10 inches to side of footsteps but straight and steady. Big circle turn.

Leg 4: another straight and steady about 10 inches to side of footsteps. Question mark turn back to end article. Good automatic down. 

Line behind butt with hands on both sides felt better for my back. Just getting back up the line is awkward. I ended up inadvertently giving him more line because of this but his tracking felt really good today!

He got better with each track. Track #1.

2/27/25. Blind Hangman at PSP

Image
 2/27/25. Blind Hangman - phone view   https://youtu.be/eGHwtjU4ANI?feature=shared At 1:29 I saw the head turn and he looked back at me so I slowed down and put a little pressure on the line.                                             Go Pro view   https://youtu.be/QFmWaBCJbFs?feature=shared Great head turn and stare at me at 1:37, 1:38. I think I should have stopped instead of slowed down?? 60 degrees, gusts up to 29 mph, 46% humidity     Laid at 9:25, ran at 10:40ish Good start, good articles, stayed with track The random gloves that were 5 yds past the end of the hangman drew him forward and then he is used to continuing on straight after finding an article, so he went straight on. Andrea stopped us and then we did the back up routine until he found the leg. I was happy with our overall performance.
