Relax, pictures, wash the mud off, get the ring on Cathy's finger, go to lunch

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Having a fairly flat tire on the bike. All the inexperienced riders jumping off their bikes in front of me. Taking time to propose marriage to my girlfriend in the mud pit. :)
