so the tactical error was not stopping at the finish on the way to the start?

I lost fifteen seconds in the chute in Canada in the sprint. So very frustrating.

Yes, I walked right by it, but didn't look at anything. Would have helped not get the tunnel vision and blow by finish flags within spitting distance of the go.

I thought I learned that from my trip to CAOC, where unlike SMOC they don't have the finish punches on the starting table. So I had tried to do that. I'm reminded!

I screwed up the chute at the last Pig. It's hard when you want to hammer that, so redlined and can't think straight.

I was the 394th fastest in the chute.

Without thinking to look for them, and then with supersprint extreme tunnel vision, the flags blended with the banners for me that day. I scouted today for sure and shaved like 27 seconds off.

Took me a while to find the banner.
