We kicked the series off late this morning with running the test dogs starting at 11:06 am. The first test dog to run was "Zeiss" with handler Jane Patopea and then next up was "Brandy" with handler Missy Bell, giving the teams a preview of what this Land Triple was all about.

The first running dog on for the 7th Series was #45 FC-AFC Flawless Execution – FLEX, “Flex,” with handler Johnny Armstrong at 11:46 am.

The weather this afternoon continued to be mostly cloudy with overcast skies and temps up into the mid 50's. There was a little drizzle on and off..
