Hey kiddo, welcome to the land of expectations. It's a really cruel and heartless place that seems to exist solely to mess with your brain.
AzT and G can attest, the hardest thing in this sport is getting on a run then have it stop from a crash or other outside factors. And when your new-ish and haven't been through the cycle it's a bit harder. But only a bit.
Where you were you can get to again, and maybe better. But you can't WILL it. Sadly, it just doesn't work that way. With umpteen years of racing I can smoke and mirror my way through to some decent finishes, you'll learn when it's a day to just hide and hope that no break gets away. Even then you'll guess wrong sometimes. The thing that experience bring is when to pull the plug and regroup. That's probably the hardest decision; after my day yesterday I was close to calling Cleave and heading up to do Whitney for some redemption.
