Man, you're definitely not alone.

The first one that comes to mind is DKM where my best time is 1'50"2, but best splits would give 1'48"7.

I think my average difference between best time and best split is about a sec. But it's good in a way, cuz I know I can still improve a lot. When the difference is nil, there's probably not much else I'll be able to do :(

I have to admit, it's a little upsetting sometimes now when I've got the splits to improve by over a sec but my best time is stuck within milliseconds of the next standard :( :o >:(

from what i remember

DKM : best time 1'47'5, best split 1'46'1
YC : best time 1'45'7, best split 1'44'0
DDJ : best time 1'47'1, best split 1'46'2
DC : best time 1'41'0, best split 1'40'1

as for the other tracks i don't have that much room for improvement. maybe 0.5 :(

LOL... don't even get me, a pathetic Advanced A, started ;D

DKM (MY BEST COURSE :-[) time is 1'53'9xx, best splits are 1'52'1xx.

DDD (MY ABSOLUTELY MOST PATHETIC COURSE >:() time is 1'48'5xx, splits give me 1'44'6xx.

You can see I need to improve on DDD a ton, but I HATE that course and the last time I played on it was back in May :P

Got a 1'02"4xx IIRC on my 1st lap on a RR attempt today with no shrooms. Now, my best 3lap time is only 3'09''993. You do the math ;)

I though my RR 3lap was bad Ian::) ;) That's my best 1st lap aswell & i can do 3.06.2 & it's still crap :-[

;D I just can't handle the pressure of 3 mins of intense racing ;) Bowser's Castle is also a challenge but that's more of an obstacle-orientated challenge than RR :-[

Ok, is anybody else have this problem???

On DDD my best splits are: 31'1-30'6-32'5 = 1'34"2 1-1-0, but best time is 1'35"4.

What's bothering me is that I don't even know if I had a good lap until the end of it. Sometimes I'll swear it was great, but then I look up at clock.....and surprise/sorry, please try again. :( >:(

LOL me: time:1'34"8
splits: 30"7 30"4 32"5 = 1'33"6!!!!

yeah... 32.9 30.5 30.5 = 1'33"9
my actual record is 1'34"9.

I have also had the problems with thinking I ran a good lap and finding out it sucked. I think the reason for this is that it is hard to see that you've slowed down when you're in yellow sand. There is a very fine line between cutting yellow for advantage and staying on white for advantage. I don't think there are many people who could tell you for sure the best lines on this course yet.
