Well, my first two runs Sunday weren't very good. I definitely DNF'ed the first time. The second time I honestly don't think I went off course but supposedly I did. Not a biggie though since that run sucked too. Third run was not good and I hit a cone. Last run I was able to at least get a decent time in.

Lesson that day was don't be a stupid boy and keep your eyes down the course. Way too many times I was nearly overshooting the corners simply because I wasn't looking far enough ahead and anticipating the course I would have to take.

I was not happy with how I did overall but I put at least a decent time down and managed to walk away with a valuable lesson so I guess overall it wasn't too bad. I expect to do better next time.

Thanks to pi for giving me what advice he could during our ridiculously short breaks between runs. EvilRobot, it was good to see you out there again. Oh and congrats to Pi for absolutely devastating STX with more than a full second lead over the next guy in second place.

Oh and wouldn't you believe someone at the event harassed me hardcore about my beautiful numbers?
