Well, 1982 so far:
-Carefully planned Winter
-Larry and I recently talked about this-- bringing in the right educators who could give us knowledge we didn't have to get us to the next level and then some
-Things going wildly beyond expectations through the Grand Prix, not knowing what to do when we won and driving everyone else nuts part by accident, part because no one expected us to actually figure much out
The next part would be partly why Sun dug in, did what they had to do, and partly why we stalled out. There are very good reasons- mainly because of what happened with early season post contest critiques. The same thing still happens today if you're running way in the front early, and frankly I think a lot of people learned from what happened in 1982 from this issue. More later.
