While freestyle didn’t go quite as I hoped this year at UPDIF, we still had a lot of fun. Had a really tough round on Friday in the wind and were sitting in 15th place out of 112 teams. Just 5 points separated 1st from 15th, so i thought MAYBE if we have a magic round we could make up some ground. Suzi struggled with her catching on Saturday’s performance round, but that’s okay. We hung in there and finished 15th overall, and the other teams KILLED IT. Super fun freestyle to watch. Even though we didnt finish in the podium as we did last year, I’m more excited and inspired than ever to grow our routine together and improve in heavy wind conditions. I wish we had video of Anna and Akela’s Bluey performance round because it was absolutely one of my favorite moments of the weekend 🤩 #discdog #frisbeedog #updogchallenge #rescuedog
