The Life Of A Barrel Racer {Wattys 2017}

Guess who broke 3 personal records in 1 day!

Me!!
I broke my record in poles, arena race, and barrels!!!!

Before I get to my times I'm going to bore you by explaining the patterns... haha

Pole Bending: (ignore my terrible writing, it's hard to write on an iPad)

So those lil dots are poles... and that line is the start

So you start running up to the first pole. You want to go in as fast as you can and start rating (slowing) when you pass the third pole. (In some rodeos you just start weaving)

Then you start weaving your way down, and you want to go at a faster pace but at a pace where you can see what your doing. You don't want to take down all 6 poles, Jehovas witness, and the gate man. Lol

The you turn the end pole and make your way up again. When you pass the first pole you start-

-running down as FAST as you can. Yay! On to the next event!

Arena Race:

There is not 3 barrels, it's just the one. So you want to run as fast as you can to the first barrel but remember to rate!

Then you turn that barrel...

And then BAM! Run run run!!

Barrel racing:
I think we all know what barrel racing is

Ok I won't torture you anymore...
