Much to my surprise, we looked at the latest data (up-to-date as of May 30) and found we are back in first place, by 49 points! However, after May 30, we missed four trial days and our competition presumably did not. So more than likely we will fall back to second place. This does give us a sliver of hope, though--we could still finish in first. We have five trial days left--two this weekend in Cato, NY, and three the following weekend in Palmyra, PA. Should be fun!
We got back to trialling again last weekend, practically for the first time in nearly three weeks. Even with that extended break, we did very well. In our first run of the weekend, Darcy made one minor mistake, missing one weave pole. (On the video he appears to be a little discombobulated and is running through the poles a little differently than he usually does, two-footing it instead of single-footing. Maybe this was due to slippery grass? Who knows.) After that we had great runs the rest of the weekend, including matching our highest scoring day ever on Sunday: 26 points in Standard and 13 points in Jumpers With Weaves. So we ended the weekend very pleased. And now with this latest news about being in first place again at the end of May, we are extra happy!
