This ^^^ is a dog walk.  It is a piece of equipment used in agility.  The end pieces  (the 'up' and 'down' pieces) come off.  My SO has had one set up in the front yard to practice.  She had removed the end pieces and put them in the carport, but the middle frame was still in the front yard.  I say was because some effer stole it overnight.  Probably for the metal.  This thing is not light, they would have needed a truck and at least 2 people.  I am feeling just sick.  Not that the dog walk was stolen, another one can be purchased.  But that they just waltz into the yard in the middle of the night and take it.  It is not a nice feeling at all.

Erin - LOVE the video of the diving!!!  I'm sure my parents wanted me to be as good as I could possibly be... as close to home as possible.   

TJ - Oceanside... you don't say...

Kirsten - I'm so sorry about the stuff getting stolen.  I remember there being a rash of thefts in Vancouver of the copper wiring from various things to be able to sell as scrap metal - I can only hope that karma will come back to bite them where the sun don't shine.  You also TOTALLY made me smile with chuffed!  It was used so often when I was living in London and I hardly get to hear it anymore!  Were you equally 'gutted' to realize that you'd mounted the tire backwards? 

And on the HOLY CRAP I'M FREAKIN' EXCITED front... I just finished buying our plane tickets to Vancouver for Xmas!!!  WOOT!

Is that how many hands Ann-Marie has now?

I snuck it in there. I have been talking about doing it for a while and now the stars have aligned.

I have no idea how to pace this thing as I have never raced on a track before OR raced the 3000 distance. EEKS.

The good news is, it will be a PR, assuming I finish AND I've talked my training partner/friend into doing it so I won't be alone.

That's what I heard! 23 Hands Marie.  Am I mistaken?

I think that's right - and it was suggested that she use them with wild abandon to slap whomever necessary to get her flight going last night.

Originally posted by brigby1 Still trying to wrap my head around the main set at Masters last night. Cycling through descending sets of 100's (easy-mod-fast ... ). Easy turned out to be low 1:20's and fast got down to 1:14/15? On 1:35 send-off? Not quite sure where that came from.
