Somehow, both our teams had ended up in Div. 1, seeded 5th and 7th. Because of this, Molly was put back into Allsorts, and Spencer into Hotdogs. And Breeze had to step in when Allsorts 'v' Hotdogs. Otherwise, all the dogs remained in their teams. Racing for Allsorts was going to be potentially difficult, as we were the only team with a seed time over 19 secs.
Allsorts only managed to win one of their races (against Bad Dogs on the Run). But we did have some close and exciting racing, just to prove we weren't totally out of our depth. Dorset Dynamos were the only team to beat us 3-0. We gave all the other teams a run for their money, going to 4 or 5 legs. Eddie had a good day, and didn't really look at the opposition at all today, and Molly coped very well running 3rd. Dave managed to put in some good passes by the end of the day, and I think Molly only 'twiddled' once. Our best time of the day was 20.06sec and we came 6th in Div 1.
And Eddie gained his FDa. Well done Ed, or should it be Jan, for her loss of voice with all the extra shouting she has to do!!
Hotdogs faired much better this time, and racing was going to be good, as the seed times between the top 5 seeds was 0.3 sec. We only lost one race, to Test Valley (who have really got their act together over the winter). We did try to have a go at beating them, when it was discovered we had a 'tie'. Both teams had recorded 19.15, so the timers added the 1/1000th of a sec on, giving the win to Test Valley. As timing only goes down to 1/100th, we had to re-run. We gave it our best, but just couldn't keep up with them today! Dave also managed a 'perfect' start - 0.004. So I think I'll have to start nagging at these 0.05 start times - slow, or what!! Out best time of the day was 18.92 secs and we came a brilliant 2nd in Div 1.
