Especially the things you did right and the the things you did wrong, so you can learn for the next time. I realized after that first weekend of trialing, that by Monday night I really had to think about what happened on Saturday. Now I write the scores, keep a copy of the course, and write my critique of how we did, where I need to improve, what I did correct, etc. But do it right away while it's still fresh in your mind. PS: we're one Q short for NA and need two more for NJWW. Signing up for trials at the end of the month!

I don't have a big tunnel sucking dog and think practicing with a heavier weight tunnel rather than the lightweight one I have would encourage a more aggressive tunnel. Already practiced our weave poles for breakfast this am! I’m hoping I can add a competition grade tunnel to my practice course this summer.
