Very nice Matt! I knew it was only a matter of time since you did mid 30s in your first finals last year. Keep up the good work. Be safe.

Booker’s Double deuce should have an asterick next to it since there was an extra plate controversey.

Interesting that 6 of the 8 40+ personal bests took place at the 2009 Nathan’s finals. Were there any factors that year that might have played a role in that? Weather? Dogs prepared differently? A pre-contest bong hit?
