 Surry P&R Seren:  8 turn stairstep, age 4.5 hours. All turns flagged. Ran into a patch of sandspurs early on, but she persevered & got through that. Had a novel challenge today - man practicing golf on the same field we were using. She handled that ok. Weather app didn’t indicate much wind, but it seemed stronger to me.  Not our best performance, she seemed to get better toward the last half. Articles good (including golf balls) Just looked at video, & it looked better than it felt in real time. I think I was short on patience at the time we ran the track. I’m aware of moving out too soon at least twice, & I’m pretty sure I looked in the direction of the new leg at at least one turn. https://youtu.be/w-JNQt2AKxQ?feature=shared

 Dylan’s tracking class at Cool Water. Track all in woods. 45min  old, food in ‘hard’ places. Cloudy, ~50 degrees, lite wind. He did well, I need to let line out before moving. https://youtu.be/SYlIQ2TiBEU?feature=shared Seren, Windsor Business Park.  2 turn track, scuff start & out of both turns. Food every 10 steps. 2nd turn flagged. Age 3hr 40min. She did pretty well with this set-up. Also I got lots of practice with letting out line before I move on the straightaway when she was stopping every 10 steps. Think I’ll continue with old track/lots of food for a few, then start diminishing the food https://youtu.be/YHkgAkVJMHo?feature=shared

 Courthouse Park Seren: 4 turn track, 3rd turn unflagged. Food on all but last leg, 4th leg had jackpot food drop. Article on 3rd leg. 2hr, 45min old Pretty disappointed in this, especially after Tuesday being so good. Recently I’m seeing a lot of nice starts, then petering out after about 30 yd. That’s why the food on the 1st leg, but I don’t think she found much of the food I put down. Still pondering what to do next, thinking about a fairly old -4hourish- track with lots of food https://youtu.be/OcWcL3RNhIs?feature=shared

 Surry P&R Dylan:  3 turn track with 2 road crossings. Three food drops in road at each crossing.  3rd turn flagged, also flag in middle of 4th leg.   All turns right on the nose. Not affected by ‘extra’ flag. At first road crossing, had to work at it for a few seconds, 2nd one was great. Did have to think about the guide rope crossing there, tho. Articles could have been better. https://youtu.be/XDgXaeA3Njk?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
