Well three rounds through at the Canadian Finals and it has not went as planned. The first round I had a calf down to be fast and the calf kicked real bad making me 12.5. Kicking calves is pretty rare in Canada. They do a good job of preparing the stock up here, but it is bound to happen sometime. The second round was much better. I was 7.9 and split 3rd and 4th. I was happy with my run. I thought maybe I could have taken one wrap and a huey, but went with two instead. Tonight I was the last roper and roped one right there, sure enough I was going to win the round, but the calf kicked again. I was 10.5. That's not bad, but I have bigger plans so I am looking forward to the next three rounds.
This has to be the best kept secret in rodeo. This is six rounds that pay close the 10 thousand a round. The Shiozawas are here and together we have had a fun time going out to eat and visiting the Edmonton Mall. I hope to have good news after the next three rounds.
