Exercise with Options

Here is Truman’s work on these exercises. I decided to look at the map and decide how I would have chosen to handle before looking at your suggestions. I’ve labelled these efforts of mine as handler’s option. On the small space exercises, I added jump #1 and weave poles #2 as well as the jump after #7 to put the training sequence in the context of the course. I am still having trouble running but because of the placement of the weave poles I was able to get well ahead and managed all the options, I felt at least, pretty well. My handler’s option was pretty much your option #2 except I served #6. On the whole, I think your RC option was better as I had to be careful to stay out of Tru’s way but I wanted to try it because I thought it might tighten the turn from 6-7 better than a RC, especially if there were anything more enticing on the landing side of 6. In the challenge sequence I much preferred option 1 to 2, except I did leave out all the blinds because I just could not manage them. My handler’s option reduced the amount I needed to move to a minimum but I think it worked OK. I understand that moving more would get more out of Tru and would likely be clearer to him but at this point I just can’t manage it. Thanks for your comments in advance. And congratulations on all your successes overseas. Looking forward to meeting you in person in Orlando.
