So weird.<br /><br />I don't normally mind team, I've sort of gotten over the pressure on myself and Strum doesn't usually have a lot of off courses so I wasn't really worried. But to have such a weird thing happen repeatedly on a team that otherwise would easily qualify for Nationals was unnerving.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-86622382197175238492012-03-12T17:03:33.650-06:002012-03-12T17:03:33.650-06:00Augh -- I can't imagine the stress/pressure of...Augh -- I can't imagine the stress/pressure of that. I hated team relay, even though my partners were always super nice, I found the stress of someone else's Q resting partly on me and my dog no fun at all. Lots of people do love it, though. Anyway, congrats on that Q!Muttsandaklutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551047401085562752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-88573652920088964282012-03-12T11:43:07.405-06:002012-03-12T11:43:07.405-06:00P.S. *AND* so glad he's looking healthy!P.S. *AND* so glad he's looking healthy!Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-9106139217766695872012-03-12T11:42:23.218-06:002012-03-12T11:42:23.218-06:00We had one weekend a couple or 3 years back where ...We had one weekend a couple or 3 years back where boost started doing the same thing with the tire. I couldn't figure it out. But only one tire at the trial. I took a photo of it to try to figure it out. But I never figured it out, as it never happened again, even with the same tire at later trials.<br /><br />Congrats on Qing in team! The way I always looked at it, Stp & GP each guaranteed you only 1 run each at nationals, but team guarantees you four, so although there's not as much glory involved, it's the best Q to have.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-84813475596552055352012-03-12T07:26:20.478-06:002012-03-12T07:26:20.478-06:00Yeah, I saw that.

I guess normally I wouldn't think twice about it, in fact I'd rather have it at the start since I can set the line and have a controlled approach so it's safer than mid-course. <br /><br />Funny thing is I pulled the tire off the course when I took him out to practice on Wednesday since I didn't want him crashing it again (he'd crashed it when he went took it as an off course and I called to him and distracted him while he was mid-air) and I thought he was o.k. with it so no need to practice.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-27799179960645316192012-03-11T20:56:13.687-06:002012-03-11T20:56:13.687-06:00Hope the tire trouble turns out to not really be a...Hope the tire trouble turns out to not really be a problem.
