I've used two of my gift certs so far and have had no issue. Yesterday was a blast for me. First time in intermediate; i got the go ahead on the 6/2 day to make the jump. I was slightly hesitant going into the first session but once i got out there, everything fell into place. I would say i was running in the middle of the pack. End of last year i was barely breaking 2:00. Yesterday i ran a 1:50.0 as a best. I could probably have been in the 40's but i caught someone in the carousel. Already planning on making the 7/6 date. Hopefully will have my new plastic on by then. I didn't like how my paint scheme came out so i'm working on round 2. All that's left is to clear the tank and put it on.
