Not too bad. I was hoping to lose only 2 or 3 minutes per day until the dunes - but much better than the 14 minutes lost last year on first special.

Thankfully didn't seem to be any significant damage as he more or less kept pace after the incident. Seems like a more promising start than last year.

BJ Disapeared from 108K to 138K must have had some trouble.
