Hi All,
What a day! I seeded 5th this morning and was feeling really good. The track was nice and technical and I took it easy during my final run, so I would have heaps in the tank for the finals.
The Finals: My run was perfect. I didn't make any mistakes except the fact that it all went too smoothly. I didn't push it hard enough and ended up 6th. I was hoping for a top 5, so a 6th is ok. Next race I will be pushing it alot harder.
Here are the results:
