Tonight, I returned 2 playing MKDD!! 50Hz TT on Rainbow Road again I have really wanted 2 go back here, just been distracted by other games. Too many gr8 games 2 play which is both a good and bad thing!!!

I raced some weird times. These r not new PRs but would have smashed my current PRs if it weren't 4 some interesting mistakes.

Tonight on lap 2 my flap attempt, I raced a 00'59"7xx whilst ACCIDENTALLY wasting 2-3secods of time NOT running over zippers/boost pads I finished that course's three lap again, wasting two or three seconds on lap two from driving around zippers/boost pads I was meant 2 drive over and my three lap was 3'00"210 barely slower than my 3'00"167. How the fuck did I go so fast and miss the zipper's worth of two or three seconds worth of boosts? I can't go this fast normally, it was amazing but couldn't hit those boost pads

When I mess up sub three mins sometimes I am well ahead of subbing three mins but, nerves mess it up and/or extreme excitement. What's fascinating 4 me is, I know I have the skill 2 sub three mins and probably sub 59seconds as well.

My psychological approach is so extremely hard 4 me 2 control and master. It's so interesting I believe in myself with this yet, everytime it could happen so far I choke it EVERY SINGLE TIME Yet I know I've got the skill it's just my mind set is wrong I don't handle pressure or excitement properly.

But, I need 2 watch my captured footage of racing Rainbow tonight. It's going 2 b amazing 2 watch the speed and skill I can't normally play like this and blunder a run that could have been possibly Myth D on the course and God on the flap possibly. It like never ever happens at my skill level. But I am yet 2 sub 59seconds and sub 3mins, subbing neither so far.

So had I not have messed up the zippers costing me two or three seconds in the run of my life on Rainbow, GINORMOUS NERVES would have stuffed me up later in the flap and course later. I am simply ASTOUNDED I was possibly on Myth D and God pace, possibly. As I keep saying, it like never happens at my level. Rainbow is already many miles ahead of my other PRs everywhere in this game. The ONLY other PRs that I consider SUPER strong r my Ghost Valley 1 PRs in Super Mario Kart NTSC TT.

I am yet 2 watch my caught footage of the Rainbow race tonight. I am going 2 watch it in the next day or so once I'm rested and had some food. I am very hungry at the moment. Going 2 make dinner.

In the next month sometime, I'll upload this Rainbow footage I speak of in this very topic. I can't wait 2 share it with y'all I need 2 find it among my hours of recorded footage of tonight's play session and get my Disability Support Worker 2 once again show me how 2 separate it, (edit it out from among other failed runs), and upload it 2 my YT channel.

If I was racing at God and Myth pace it was a total fluke and it never happens 4 me. Even in the event I was racing as fast as I thought I was, knowing me I would definitely choke the flap and course opporunities later that run as they r insanely, 'too good 4 me' only 2 never run like that again. So weird, I am in shock!!!!!! I am yet 2 sub 3mins or sub 59seconds either. Rainbow is already my strongest track by heaps and currently I'm Hero A and Titan D. This run was incredible minus missing 2-3seconds worth of zippers/boost pads.

I really don't know how it happened like that, (that I was SUPER fast above my skill). I've never seen myself exceed my usual ability by excessively super amount b4.

I look forward 2 sharing the footage when I can get my Support Worker 2 help me. I see him on Fridays and every second Saturday. So excited 2 watch my footage and share it. I haven't played it back 2 myself yet. Gotta find it first among hours of attempts on Rainbow.

Thanks 4 reading

Hey Stephen, I like your skills on Rainbow Road It is my favorite track by far and I also share the same goal as you.. I want to get sub 3 minutes, I really don't care about sub 59 seconds but I really want to get sub 3 minutes to actually retire from the game. I feel like I currently play other tracks just for rankings stuff, also the game is fun but Rainbow Road is my main focus and all I need with me is to achieve sub 3 minutes. 

When I finally got Hero D back in January in this year, I already started to think about sub 3 minutes and I thought it was impossible. How can I get sub 3 minutes? Can someone like me get sub 3 minutes? Then I started to experiment with L-tech, sliding in the zippers, taking the turns way more aggressive and I dropped my time to 3'01"122 (my current PR is 3'00"777) and after that I stopped because I was playing everyday 4-6 hours per day Rainbow Road, and that was for over 1 month straight. I felt like this game (especially Rainbow Road) was taking my life. I do not play that much nowadays so I don't feel bad at my current situation. I like how you play other games, I find it really good to take breaks, play some random games and then return to Rainbow with a more fresh mind 

I do not think Sub 3 minutes is forbidden to Karters like us anymore. I feel like we can actually get Sub 3 minutes but we just need to keep grinding and defeat our nerves on lap 3. But we need to do it in a good way, not rushing. Sometimes we can feel tired and sad but we have to appreciate the process to achieve our goals, we have to appreciate our process to achieve Sub 3 minutes on Rainbow Road and we eventually will achieve it, we are going to get Sub 3 minutes
