Last week I posted that I would need to be in a race that I am generally out of and I was drilling the ever-loving-stink out of it in preparation for being a four man team.
Bottle Shuttle, my most recent nemesis.
I am happy to report that my drilling paid off. yea!
We played the race in one of the preliminary heats. I rode third, placing the bottle on the center barrel, breaking down to a modest trot for a stride for the placement. It was a solid clean placement.
We also played bottle in the final. I rode third again, and I went at a checked canter, and was once again successful.
WHOOP!
Here are a few photos of the bottle race, pick, place, and handoff.
