🏁 Day 2 Recap - Part 1
A2
We started the day with A2, and right away we knew this wasn’t going to be an easy one. The first gate, which was a regular blue gate, took us way too long to get through. Once we finally made it past, we only had 6:30 left on the clock and had already clipped a cone. At that point, we pretty much knew we were sitting in 5th place and possibly wouldn’t be able to qualify for the shoot-out. We took another cone going through Gate 1 (which was also tough for us), but managed to drop Gate 2 clean and made it through Gate 3 without a problem. We kept pushing and got through the next two gates clean as well, but ended up timing out less than a foot from the exit. We ended the course with a score of 25.
A3
This one was another frustrating course for us. We decided to go for the bonus gate right off the bat, but it ate up way too much time and we ended up hitting the bonus cone. We backed out and went through the regular gate instead. We only hit one cone on this course, but had to take five reverses—pretty sure all of them were on Gate 1 alone. After getting through that gate, we still had five minutes left and four more gates to clear. We made it through Gate 2 clean and got lined up to back down the blue bonus before Gate 3, but again we ran out of time while lining up for Gate 3 after the bonus drop. Ending the course with a score of 24.
