BH here we come

Finally! On Friday Tristan and I are going to try for his BH. The Pacific Northwest Regional Championships are being held this coming weekend near Spokane so Tristan and I are taking a road trip across the state. We did a trial run at practice on Sunday and were declared ready - with a big caveat. Tristan is a bit iffy when he's supposed to remain in a down position at a distance from me. He kept trying to join the fun when the other team was doing its routine. Since "it's all about Tristan", he's sure their "hier" is his hier. And woe to us if a ball is thrown in the vicinity because it's clearly meant for him. We worked on him staying in the platz and I think he's got it.

It was fun to do the BH routine on Sunday. We haven't really worked on it per se. We'll see if I can count. I'm not used to counting paces and I seem to alternate between counting one for every pair of steps then switching to counting each step. It's a fine recipe for disaster.
