And I did go better.

More control and more speed, better turns on steeper pitches, with more confidence and relaxation being the key.

When I look back at a video of me from last year, although I thought I was fairly good then, I can see all my faults.

Under standing  what you’re doing wrong, and conversely well, is a big breakthrough.

Now when I crash I know why I did, rather than being  bewildered.

I have a couple more days to go, and I do expect to get better.

No blood ( from anywhere ) today.
