10. The
sun was in my eyes.
Hmmmm,
the first leg was west-bound in the morning?
9. My fingers are too fat to correctly enter GPS coordinates for the finish
line.
Hmmmm,
Garmin has a new GPS (for Motorcyclists) that accomodates entries with gloves
on.
8. Temporary amnesia.
If that
was true, you wouldn't remember it.
7. Temporary insanity
If that
was true, you wouldn't admit it. Maybe it's permanent.
6. Sudden incapacitation.
Sleep
during the flight is not "sudden".
5. Wrote the coordinates way too small.
When
was you last flight medical? Is this type size too small?
4. Reading glasses not strong enough.
OK,
that answered the last point, but you have to look outside to see the
difference between a lake and a printing plant.
3. Pre race jitters.
Limit
your coffee intake.
2. I thought the finish line really was in the middle of the lake.
It used
to be. Old habits are hard to break.
And the #1 reason for finishing so slow...
Flicker vertigo.
Yeah,
polishing the back of the prop will do that......

What
happened to CRM? All those years of training? How will Sue ever believe
you again? What excuses will you use next year? Remember, oratorical self
deprecation does not make a Lancair faster.
