Morgan's Incredible Dog Challenge Diary Page 2


EVENT 1:
PAW & PEDAL AGILITY

The first event was an Agility course spread out through the woods which included obstacles like logs for jumps, an A-frame built of hay bales, and camoflage painted Dog Walk, A-Frame and Teeter (with no contact zones...yahoo!). The best part about this event was that the handler got to ride their mountain bike! Needless to say, this allowed Morgan to FLY through the course at full-blown speed, something she never gets to do on regular Agility courses. This was Morgan's DREAM event, and she had a definite advantage over the smaller dogs.

HIDDEN TUNNEL

The tunnel was buried under branches and brush, however Morgan still found a way to bust through it! This is a double-exposure of her going in and coming out during her final run.

Her run started with a launch off the start line like a rocket...through the first 10 or so obstacles at full speed, however she turned back to wait for me (busy weaving through the rocks on my bike) and missed a jump, which added 10 seconds to our final time.


ANOTHER FAULT

After the tunnel she shot out over the first log jump, then past this one (see behind her?) for another 10 second fault, argh!

Morgan's run was 1:09, which tied Steve Frick and Maggie's clean run, however Morgan had 20 seconds of faults added for a total of 1:29. But that still got the Green Team 2nd place in the event!
