EO Qualifications, second and last round
Late it comes, my article about the second and last EO qualification. But better than never 🙂 And no, it doesn’t have to do anything with my results 🙂
Actually, it’s a weekend to forget. Yet still, I’ve learned so much. Not just this last weekend, but also the first EO qualification day. So much I learned that is worth to keep. To sum up the weekend: Saturday top, Sunday flop.
With the pre-quali competition from Saturday I was very pleased with mine and Cute’s performance. The jumping run we won. In the agility run the second bar fell down, but I was satisfied with all her contacts and in the open agility run I was again focused on the contacts.
I knew that we had to get a fast clear first run on Sunday to stay in the competition for a chance in the team. I felt comfortable in my pre-start-state and I was able to retrieve ideal performance state. Unfortunately, Cute squealed on the closed (!) slalom entry. To high her speed was as to get the right sense of tact in time. Too bad, but now it was real… no EO for us this year.
At least I could entertain the audience in the second run. An obstacle number was placed right in front of the tunnel entry, which had to be taken away before Cute harmed herself. But have a look at your own in the video at the end.
At this point I’d like to congratulate to all the teams who made it into this years team. I wish you all the best and to success in Rieden.
