It was a great meet this morning. First off it was a gorgeous morning. Second this was a joint meet as part of the Pen-Mary-Del hound show. Joint meets are fun because you get to meet new people and you get to watch a pack of hounds made up of hounds from three different packs hunt together. Today there were hounds from Thornton Hill, Farmington and Tennessee Valley. All told there were 27 couple (54 hounds) out today.
We had a great run that covered 2.5 miles. It went for 40 minutes and it was over hill and dale, through streams, looped around on itself. All done at some very high speeds. According to the GPS we hit 23.5 MPH but I think that was one brief instant when we crested a hill onto a flat area. There were quite a few stretches were we were consistently running between 15-18 MPH. Since this was pretty much all done on trails in the woods, it feels really fast! Also, 54 hounds screaming along after a fox in the hills is an amazing sound.
The run is everything inside the yellow line.
Overall we covered 6.78 Miles.
