Seriously, I was obviously shocked at how quickly and without warning it broke loose on me. Thank God I had the nannies on or I'd probably be in the fence. I thought about halfway through it I had it saved but something caught and threw me sideways again for that last long slide.

I packed up and headed home after this session...



Considering what could happen, it's not too horrid I'm glad you left the nannies on!
