Perfect weather for a marathon! It was partly cloudy around 74 degrees. The sec. A track was mostly on the road. Very easy pulling for the ponies. Sec. E was partly through the camp and stabling so they closed the camp to all cars during the marathon. All the hazards were in close proximity to each other. VERY spectator friendly!! And pleny of beer tents close by.
I was the first on out on course. I had a clean round with no mistakes. I wasn't the fastest by any means but I was happy with my go. Katy did her best and I felt like I had my head in the game!
Sara and Sherri went one after the other. Sara unfortunately has a mistake in the 2nd hazard when her pony over shot a turn. As she came back to correct her way she missed the D gate. It was very unfortunate because she was having a GREAT go!
Sherri and Smoke also looked fast through the hazards but took on 10 penalty points after her navigator stepped off the carriage to fix some broken harness. The judges said that the carriage was not stopped when the groom got back on the carriage.
Tracy Morgan and Randy both had good clean marathons! Randy was 7th overall in the marathon and Tracey was 16th. Katie was 25th.
Our 4 in hand drivers went around with good clean rounds. Laurie put in a stellar go helping the team stay in the top 4 in the team standings. Laurie was 9th in the marathon and Lisa was 17th.
