Plan was simple multi turn track. So, this plan developed major challenges for River. My husband got out of the jeep to take Duck into the dog park. River sees this and now gets into play fetch mode, major challenging distraction happening. So, rather than abandon, I threw down some food, to help her refocus. This was a true unintentional challenge, and my husband now understands not to get out of the vehicle.

after we extra food dropped through the 2nd turn, River was back in the game, and this final portion including turns was done very matter of factly and efficiently, is probably the best way to describe. Not really sure how the SWF pattern was for River so I'll keep it the same for the next outing, which will be a long leg then a short leg after a turn.
