Finals Finally
Long day. There were a lot of heats, and that meant much waiting and idling for everyone.
I accomplished one of my previously-stated goals: to make it to the finals in the Open. But there's a qualification: there were only three of us (supposed to be six) in my first-round heat, so we all automatically advanced. In the next round, I won my heat and advanced directly to the finals. That was cool. I was stoked. I ended up in last, 6th, though. Oh, well.
For the Senior, only three of us (supposed to be four) in my first-round heat. We all advanced to the finals, and I came in last--surprise!--6th, again. I was bummed.
Two 6th-place finishes. Bitter-sweet.
