As I said earlier, I qualified in 5th place with an 11.188, which put me up against the number 8 seed. Unfortunately for me, the guy is significantly faster than his qualifying time of 11.3 and I underestimated him. I wasn't able to come around him, and I lost by a wheel. I then swore really loudly and threw some shit around.
Next I went into a Rep round with two guys who qualified with 11.5's. One jumped REALLY early and I let the other guy chase him down, then came around at the end to win and get back into the sprint tournament.
I didn't necessarily agree with the re-seeding, but I ended up facing the #1 seed, Jimmy Watkins, who had qualified with a 10.7 (I thought I should have been matched against the #2 seed).
In our first race I was still totally lit up from the uber-long sprint in my rep round, and he had no problem beating me. In the second race I gave him a run for his money, but ultimately came up a half wheel short. Again.
Afterwards we went out to eat at PF Chang's for my birthday. I was delicious.
Tomorrow I will be riding the 5-8 finals, so I've got a chance to be on the podium.
Now, here's the photos:
