17m
After warming up on the flat and over fences, the team heads to the cross country jumps, including a water feature. Liz emphasizes needing power and straightness, especially when the rider has a problem with a skinny jump after the water. The rider needs more leg than she thinks, but not for speed. She also has to stay tall with her upper body and ride all the way to the base of the jump. With perseverance, the rider completes the line successfully.
