Ok - haven't added anything for a while. We have been in a few trials and started in ADAA for the 1st time. Unfortunately I entered classes that were way too hard for us and it all went a bit wrong. As a result I got stressed, Selby got stressed and the combined effort was a complete loss of confidence. I won't post the videos, although they weren't all dreadful.
Decided to take a step back and refocus on a few things. We had been doing so much work on weaves that Selby decided that that was all she had to do! Start lines and contacts went completely out the window so have left the weaves and gone back to those for a bit (she is weaving really well, although still only if I am on her right)
Pulled out of Cloverdale which I think was a good decision, I went down to watch and it's really close to the road so the extra stress of that probably wouldn't have helped. Also pulled out of 1 night of the ADAA trial so that I could go down to training. What a good decision. It was sooo much better than the last few - and Selby did the most amazing A-Frame ever!
The Saturday at ADAA was better than the previous trial and far more positive. It was also the 1st time I ran Amos - my flatmates KC Cav. Left early and found out 2 weeks later that Amos got a 2nd and Selby a 3rd at this trial (although neither with clear rounds). Things were starting to look up :)
