We are down to the last full day of competition and my last full day in Finland.  I head to the airport at 5am tomorrow morning to fly home with Lynda Orton-Hill and her husband John.  The rest of the team will follow on Tuesday.  Apparently we couldn't get all the dogs on one flight. 

Last night, the battle of the Medium team dogs was great to watch.  I really love the excitement of the team.  Having the team dogs running one after the other really gets the excitement level going.  They also post on the big screen the time/score each dog needs to run on the team in order to take first place. 

Our medium team of Stevie, Flip & Nitro were in the middle of the pack after having a heartbreaking off course in the first round.  Stevie ran a beautiful Standard course, clean but with a few time faults.  Unfortunately Flip got trapped by the decivingly challenging opening.  Nitro & Lucie were the third team in and Lucie worked Nitro in the ring, making him stick his contacts,  in preparation for today's final round of Standard events.

Suzanne & Copine, Lucie & Nitro, Adrian & Fizz and Susan & Encore are all standing in really good positions and a good run today could put them on the podium.  So please, please, please send them the great vibes you sent Rio and I on Friday! 

Off for my walk to the Ice Hall!
