Got to be aggressive, and that was I feel like my best shot at trying to get ahead of the others. We fought hard all day. We didn’t make any big mistakes that took ourselves out of it. We fought really hard. A lot to be proud of, but obviously when you come here, you want to leave here a champion. We’ll work on it and think about what we can do in the off-season to get better here.
