BevLive: Meeker, Day 2

Day was a bit cooler and less windy in the afternoon, helping to create more high scores. Amanda was one of these success stories. She and Ethel ran in the morning, getting off to a very rough start when her sheep broke back to the setout, and for a few fearful moments the sheep looked like they were outrunning Ethel. But no fear; Ethel rose to the challenge and got the sheep back on line, going on to have a great run scoring a 77.

In the afternoon Emil Ludeke had a great run with Spot. In spite of a poor pen he scored 78. This stood as the high score until Bill Berhow had a great run with Pete, scoring 85, which remains the high score of the trial.

Had a pleasant evening at Amanda's, where she grilled steaks and baked potatoes and we reran most of the days runs.

Amanda and I both run our second dogs tomorrow and Tom runs Sly. It's my last chance to do something, so we'll see how the day goes.
