Nordic Championship Bronze

We met for breakfast in the hotel at 6.30 am and then left to go to the Championship venue for training at 8 30.

Each fog had 1 minute for training n the ring. Gollum did his start twice and Xmas put his ghost in the grave twice and then time had gone. 1 minute is a very short time. 

The 3 first dogs to compete in the final were taken out for doping control, but Gollum was 5th so he didn't get taken out. It's rather stressful to be taken out as the fog has to pee in a cup, which can be challenging. 

Gollum worked really well today and finished with Nordic Championship Heelwork To Music Bronze. Woooohoooo.

Xmas was exhausted when it was his turn. He's young and this is his first Championship. We got through it, but it was not as nice as yesterday. I'm still very happy though. Getting to the final was more than I had hoped for. Xmas finished 8th in the Freestyle. 

We left Helsinki at about 2 pm. We stopped for lunch and then continued to Turku, where we walked dogs before going to the ferry. 

Now we're in bed in our ferry cabin.
