to earn a JC you run a two JC trials, which are just a single run, by yourself. You could run Sat and Sun and potentially earn a JC. Running JC is a good way to learn.

Ops, forgot kananga on the last post. If you want more info shoot me a post on my personal page and I will get you my email addy.

I look forward to it. Sounds like I better prep my boy with some thorough exercise over the next 2 weeks.
-
Definitely! As you don't want him to pull or injur himself from over doing it that day.
I don't 'train' my dog rather we just talk daily walks (3 per day) and closer to racing season I do sprints with him – he loves racing me and of coarse ALWAYS beats me!
-
Hopefully the weather cooperates on Saturday. Will they still do runs if it starts to rain?
-
In most cases yes, they will still have the event even in the rain.
-
Fair enough. Kananga does not mind the rain.
-
If it rains they will still course but it will depend on how hard it is raining. The latest weather update I heard today stated it was not suppose to rain until Saturday evening so lets just hope it holds out so we have a beautiful sunny 60 degree day!

Just wanted to remind anyone who is coming tomorrow to bring two leads as you will need one when releasing and one for the person catching your B if you are doing straight racing. I will bring extra just in case!

I'll be sure to bring an extra. Anything else recommended that I bring?
It'll be interesting to see how my B does once I get there. I have to give him some Benadryl before we leave in the morning (most likely an hour before) so he doesn't get upset from the car ride. Last time I took him on a longer drive he wasn't feeling too well. My vet recommended a low dose to help make him sleep on the drive. Otherwise I'm afraid he won't be eager to do anything from feeling sick. That's what happened when I took him to the dog park the other week.
So I'm hoping he'll be OK energy-wise once we arrive.

Bring a chair to sit in (as there will be a long waiting period in between runs), a crate for your B to hang out when you aren't running or walking around, snacks, plenty of water for you and your B and you should be all set!
I will be in a black Toyota FJ Cruiser so if you see my truck you can park by me.
