HVS Frostbite Fun Show Series #3

DVOA Winter Meeting

Worked half of a day so I could go to the DVOA winter meeting in the evening. Horses were out overnight too so it was an easy stall day. Yay!

Riding William in the fun show. Everyone else rode all the classes bareback; I used a saddle because he is tall and has an uncomfortable back. So I had a time penalty in most classes due to this. We did the curry in the bucket race, circular scurry, barrel race, and barrel (pole) bending. The last game was dollar bareback (have to keep the dollar or piece of paper between your leg and the horse's body). For this I did take off the saddle and ride bareback, and actually finished second which is amazing... LOL. We ended up 4th out of 5 overall for the class.

Lesson on William - W/T/C and a cool gymnastic, first with the jumps set as crossrails and then as verticals. Another great lesson!

Intentions of going to the gym were foiled by the fact that it snowed (Only a little bit, but 2 people that I know ended up with their cars in ditches before I even left work. I figured it was safest to just head home.)

Came home and made peanut butter kiss cookies, which is not exactly a proper substitute for going to the gym :-) I had to use up the ingredients from Christmas though.

BUT I got my Forerunner hooked up to the computer, figured out how to convert the files and then upload into Routegadget (Thanks to Valerie for giving me a quick briefing at the meet on Sunday!) So at least something was accomplished.

Event: DVOA Schuylkill
 

DVOA Schuylkill Center - Green

First use of new Forerunner - now I just need to work out all the software to do cool things like overlay my tracks on the map, etc. I like having all kinds of new stats though :-)

Actual distance covered - 5.49 km
Best pace - 3:52/km Yikes! I guess I know it's in there somewhere... LOL
