Recap - Conditions

We started this morning at 7:55 am. There has been two Gun Changes; one at 9:30, the second at 11:30 and 51 dogs have run. There has been 4 no birds, which all of already had their re-run at this point. We have 45 more dogs to run, and the judges stated we will finish this series today. We have been told the next gun change will be at dog #82 and the final at #3.

Lighting continues to be muted as the clouds are still in the process of clearing. It has kept it cool for the dogs with the conditions similar to how the trial started. The wind is still predominantly out of the north at an average of 15 mph. 

Fun Fact - Series 1

Our time is 8:31 am and we are approximately 40 minutes into the first test and have now completed the 7th running dog.
