Not this time - CW sprint isn't my strongest event.... But I did give  
you a run for your money.

I set my keyer for 27. I did slow down for one Q to about 22. It is  
interesting to have people answer you at 30+ wpm when you call CQ at 27.

Just need more practice, then I'll be able to hum along above 30.

Managed to sneak in a power nap earlier in the day. Even so,  
sometimes the signals were just a blur.
