The Flyball MAINEiacs traveled West this weekend to Mass Chaos’ Greenfield Derby.
The weather wasn’t expected to be great, but it actually managed to clear up quite a bit. We had a really enjoyable, sunny, but windy weekend.
This is another one of our favorite tournaments, so it brings a big crowd of Flyball MAINEiacs. We brought 3 of our own teams, had a dog on a team with BARK and had lots of green dogs with us.
Our multi team “What the Fuzz” came in 1st!!!
Taboo – 675 (our “newest” MAINEiac)
Eliot – 675
Murphy – 675 (new title FDCh)
Saoirse – 500
Shamu – 175
Levi
It was so nice to have Taboo and Dave in the lanes with us this weekend. I think Dave’s competitive nature may be rubbing off on us. This was a really nice little team! I’m super proud of these dogs for running so well together. Murphy ran full time like he's been doing it forever. Shamu and Annaka had a few great races too!!
Our regular team “Shut the Front Door” came in 2nd!!!
Arrow -750 (new title FM)
Reese -750
Picnic – 750 (new title FDCh)
Abbey – 700
Peanut -50 (new title FDX)
Pivot
This team was on fire!! We had a last minute change in dogs which resulted in Picnic running a full time spot. This was her first full time spot and she rocked it!!! With this change, it made our team a little bit faster and we were really close to breaking out. We kept saying we need to hold our passes, we don’t want to break out! Well then there was a change of plans and we decided that we did want to break out!!! Our dogs were passing so well and running so clean that we took a chance and our first break out race we ran a 19.945. Then we decided in our last race of the day, in our last heat of the day that we’d try it one more time to see what our fastest team time could be. We ended up with a 19.831!!! I know a team shouldn’t be as excited for a break out as we were, but this was one of our fastest team times that we have run in about 5 years with a team made up of all our own dogs!
We hope the Pivot is feeling better soon! We missed that little spitfire in the lanes!!
Our open team “It's Brittany B!tch” came in 3rd!!!
Roxie – 571
Sassy- 571
Rita – 571
Bullet – 471
Kessie – 100 (honorary Brittany)
Thistle
We’ve been waiting a long time to run this team! With 6 Brittany’s on our team, and the new open rules, we were finally able to do it. I have to say for a team made up of 4 dogs from 2 households, they all handled themselves really well. Kessie was able to help them out for a few races too, since she’s the same colors as Brittany’s!.
BARK Vets “Just Keep Barking” came in 2nd!!!
Sammie – 80
Sammie, Anna and I had a really fun time running with BARK! What a great group of old dogs and great people!!
Levi and Thistle both did warm ups and are getting so close!! Peanut did lots of warm ups and earned himself a few heats. I wasn’t there in time for SDR, but I hear it was a really great success for all of the dogs that were practicing.
We got to do some mat time on Saturday night. Cody, Shilo, Banner, Tilt, Quincy, Roo, Jester, Odin, and Laikynn all got to have some fun in the lanes.
A big huge thank you to Mass Chaos for hosting another fabulous tournament!!!
Up Next:
Batavia and Rhode Island
Thanks
