Almost two weeks ago, on 20-21.08 we took part in Czech Championships of Border Collies in dogfrisbee aka. Fun Factory For Frisbee. We have competed in freestyle open, super pro toss&fetch and the quadruped.

I won’t lie saying that we had a lot of bad luck and this was one of the worst, if not THE WORST, competition we ever took part in. Of course organisation and the atmosphere was perfect but…

On Friday, when we arrived Jimmy ran into an electric fence near the playing field. He growled in a such scary way that I thought something really bad happened. Fortunately he was only scared by that, nothing happened to him.

On Saturday the weather was horrible. Freestyle was first – we did quite okay but it wasn’t the best performance we did. Nevertheless the amazing flow we felt while playing together on that field cannot be replaced <3 After freestyle there was The Quadruped. We didn’t go out of the group, there was over 30 women competing! Crazy! The longest throw I made was 45 meters long and Jimmy had 100% execution. Couldn’t be more proud! Then Jimmy did a beautiful pro toss&fetch round with my Dad and they ended up on the second place! And this is where the worst happened – when they were walking back to a tent an accident happen and Jim was bitten by another dog just above his eye. At first it didn’t look very serious but then there was blood, the eye got a bit swollen… We did a t&f round for freestyle with only two discs catched… Maybe he didn’t see them, maybe it hurt him and thus he didn’t catch discs, maybe it’s just a coincidence.

In the morning his eye looked better and we decided to not resign from the second freestyle round. Jim was great, he was trying his best! I was so stressed though that I forgot a routine in the middle of it and made a mess… But I think judges thought it was all well planned and we received some beautiful scores! If only not that eye yesterday on t&f… we could have ended up in top 10 with the best players! I am really really proud. Here is a link to a video from that performance: [click!]

And this is where it ends! A weekend full of emotions and full of bad luck. It’ll be better next time! This weekend we are going to LP Wrocław BIS 22 to show our routine once again this year. And one week later – Czech DiscDog Championships <3
