OK so after waking up 15minutes before I was due, not being able to find the key to the trailer clamp, needing to fuel the car. We got there just as they were doing the course walk, Phew! Walked the course which was nice but had some alarming long stretches between jumps in the xc phase! Warmed up nicely, even though there was nobody using the practice fence and again they both stood at about 1m!! This actually is not a problem for Sov anymore, its more a mental thing for me! So I went in and trotted round, ask for canter and get ..... nothing! Eventually gets canter and flumps over first fence, then we get into our stride and going great guns, drops to trot for the railway double, jumps so big over the 2nd part I thought I was a goner, then another double in the top corner, with a stride on landing right angle turn 1 stride to a skinny. Sov slipped on the turn and we just glanced off the skinny, but kept our composure to finish well!
Sorry for the long report but no-one to tell mum is judging, OH is at work and friends are all either competing or gym!
