Today I went to watch my first event. A Sampling of fence names from the xc course map:
The Coffin -normal name, but to really remind you, the ditch actually had a skeleton in it.
Big Flipping Gate
By Golly Thats a Big Jump
The Mad Cow -complete with a large plastic cow under the log
The Hope Jump. Hope you made it this far -I think this was the second to last jump
The announcer was rather colorful as well…
“Dog loose near fence 23. If someone’s missing a jack russel, well that’s barely a dog at all, please fetch it”
“Giving that one a lot of encouragement over fence 7, but it seems to be working so far”
“Mrs…. is off to fence 1, hope she does better than Mr…. Woops I’ve been told I shouldn’t have said that”
“If anyone could lend a hand, perhaps two, and legs and whatever other parts of your anatomy you’d be inclined to offer in the show jumping it would be greatly appreciated”
-Off to Belfast today...hoping bus riding will be better than bike riding
