What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me, lack of sleep (only hit about 6 to 7 hrs for days before hand), training (no consistent training for the last 4weeks), and generally only driven by the desire to put time on my classmates

Oh and a 2min penalty, which I plan to challenge when the photos come out.

Always a good time.
