Seren tracking

 Seren’s tracking class at Cool Water. Track all in woods, 90 minutes old. food every 10 steps https://youtu.be/rQFLI2kpsEE?feature=shared

 Dorey Park. Seren:  tried again to do the track I had in mind for yesterday. 4 turns, food on 1, 3, &4. Article on each corner except last one (I forgot), & one on straightaway leg 3. Age 3 hours After a gawd-awful start, we managed to muddle through, with me doing what I could think of to help her. I think she just did not want to track today. About all she did well was indicate the articles.  Her next track will be younger, shorter, & have more food on it. https://youtu.be/MOeOk6G_kUM

 Windsor Business Park Seren:  My aim was to make a super easy track. Food every 10 steps. Age 1 hour. Finally managed to make a track easy enough that we were able to feel successful https://youtu.be/1y1RftdO0jo Dylan:   cover changes, tall/short grass He did just fine! https://youtu.be/KGnJj5XdDPE

 Seren:  Capitol Park. 5 turns, article on each turn. One food drop on 1st leg, none on 2nd, lots on legs 3,4,&5. Returned from running Dylan’s track to find multiple lawnmowers & park employees all over the track. After some consideration, decided to bag it & try again tomorrow. Went & picked up stuff &, tho several articles had been moved, the only casualty was the end flag. Very annoying to have plans constantly thwarted, but oh well. Dylan:  4 turns, intro to tracking in the woods. He aced it! Only issue was numerous opportunities for leg-lifting. But then, he doesn’t really need trees for an excuse https://youtu.be/bDwivW4j2bw

 Dorey Park Dylan:  3 turn track, aged 1 hour. 2nd turn flagged, ground markers for other 2. Ground soggy but not actual standing water.  I was happy with this session, including with how he handled traffic not too far away https://youtu.be/VcTQ3-jX4h4

 Pole Green Park Seren:  Straight line track with multiple articles, 2 with food in them, & a road crossing. She did ok, but her enthusiasm was a bit less than on the last 2 zdays, so she will now get a couple of days off before the test https://youtu.be/e8D4eGRlEr0 Dylan:  after the 1st track I laid got trashed by people & dogs playing fetch, I put in a new one in a different location. As I started, saw man walk across 1st leg (maybe others), but I could prepare & put down lots of food in that spot. But then, shortly before it was time to run, the track got trashed again by a group of 2 or 3 families with children. At that point I got the message that Dylan was not supposed to track today.
