Like wirtual said in his video - the story of A01 did indeed not end yet. If you dont care about long descriptions: Special thanks to Eyohna for putting this little video together on short notice! Make sure to check out his channel here if you liked it: / eyohna
After over half a year of pain, little success, and even more pain, I can finally call this project done. Im quite confident that another person, be that a familiar face of the A01 leaderboards or a completly new one, will achieve the .7x one day. It might even be myself, but who knows that at this point - what I do know is that A01 is a very special track, a pure encapsulation where a lot of perseverance, will and dedication is needed to become one of the best. About the run itself: The downhill was definitly something to be improved upon (motivation for anyone to go for .7), but to make up for it, both sds, both braketap and angle, were close to perfection - the longer duration of the first one did throw me behind in the start, but with the extra speed built up, it was either to build up more towards the end. Thankfully the uphill cooperated really well too, getting a solid sd on that one as well. There were instances where I had close to the same speed on cp1, but with -.02 on the time - so humanly seen, theres definitly something to be gained here.
It might not be the biggest achievement overall, but to me, its the change to something better. This track showed me how to analyse myself, correct myself and push through hardship even in face of failure and without anything to gain. The years leading up to this video havent been the greatest to me, full of doubt, depression and insecurities about everything. Now with this new knowledge and new found confidence, I feel like im more ready to take on challenges, that were previously never in the realm of possibilties for me. It probably sounds way too over the top for most of you people who are reading this, but if you made it to this point: If you make sure to face your challenges headfirst and always do your best, youre never in the wrong.
One special point I feel like I have to bring up: While trying to keep myself motivated, there were a few thoughts lingering in the back of my head - "why not get quick .80 or .7 with a small help of a program and be done with it?". I wont lie about it, after spending all of these hours, you never know when itll finally pay off, but in the end, it finally did. It wouldve been quite easy to fall into the trap of letting it happen and be on with it, but in the end, it wouldnt have satisfied anything at all, and probably wouldve weighted more on me than have done good.
One more special thank you to all the people who kept me motivated in dms, twitch chats, wherever. Some mightve been more meant as a meme, some did get annoying at some points, but it definitly helped in the end. Thank you!
