There were a lot of highs and lows for me at this years Teva Mountain Games. I qualified second in the Quarter finals out of seventy five people. Then for the second year in a row I missed the cut in the semi's by one spot.... It made me want to vomit. That's like leading a bass tournament and then having your boat sink, or dropping your birthday cake on the floor. It's like winning the lottery then getting hit by a bus!!! Well maybe I'm getting a little dramatic, but I felt pretty bad. Then heaven sent me an angel. On the way home I was explaining to my daughter how you can't win them all, and she replied "Dad, we can pretend you won." Things didn't seem so bad after that, because I have already won. A thousand dollars and a new Sage set up would be nice though.
