Carmie's Wildcard Run

Voila, here is Carmie's brutal Wildcard run. I forgot we had to wait so long on the line. No wonder she was pooped. And she didn't spend half as long as I thought sniffing before the a-frame. My lost moment was certainly a few seconds though! And I was VERY slow on my front cross before the tire and going into the second tunnel. I wonder if I overthought it trying to get my step larger? More likely my timing just stunk because I keep forgetting Carmie is WAY faster than Ike. Ah well. Always, always, always things to improve upon. : D

Thank you for taping this, Liz!

Yes, please. More tire!! Thank you. :D Carmie is pretty good about lead outs. I have noticed lately she is started to do that little anticipatory muscle jerk. I view that as a good sign? That she is excited to be released? I have been trying to be varied about when I release her so she doesn't get in the habit of self-releasing.

It always feels like the worst run ever when you are out there, but from the video, it really wasnt bad. You had a nice start, she got a little distracted, but you got her back. She gave you a very nice beginning, focused and attentive at the start and you finished the course. Good job I say!
