FBI's "Come Fly in July" NAFA tournament, Navan

Lucy ran as part of the Burnin Rubber team in Regular 2. The lineup for most of the tournie was Glimpse (speedy little height dog setting the jumps at 11"), Maya (beautiful blond rescue bc mix), Lucy, and Sammy. Blink joined us for the last race. Everyone ran really well and we took home some very pretty third place ribbons. It was pretty hot and muggy outside and even more so inside, so that might have been a factor in Lucy posting slower times than normal. Usually she easily gets 5.5 with the pass but this weekend when I looked at the times they were often in the 5.7-5.8 range though with some 5.4s in there too. Could also be that some of the passes were wide as we didn't have a pass-caller, and/or the jumps being higher than she's been jumping lately.
Anyway she was a very good dog and the only flags she got were for a couple of hot passes.

The highlight was the open practice held in the racing lanes Saturday evening where a bunch of our team's green dogs came out to play and did just fantastic!! :-)
