Jerry,
I spun on the straight on my first run. But I believe that I went between two
cones and re-entered the course where I went off, so theoretically I should
not have gotten a DNF or a cone penalty. But I definitely know that I missed
the slalom on all three runs, so they should be DNFs even if they aren't
marked as such. And the times on my second two runs were very slow, since I
just put-putted through the rest of the course when I saw that I had missed
the slalom.
Regards,

Michael,
Looks you were credited with only one DNF on the results
so far, but your data is not consistent yet -- wait for it.
I only saw one slalom -- i.e. separated cones meant to be
taken on alternate sides -- just after the turn to head
back to start. First cone was supposed to be on the
left.
