One of the marshals also commented to a few of us Cat 5's that our seats looked way too high. I dropped it and was more stable.
Last night was the final night for points for the season - looks like just some fun events next week. Super glad I finally took the plunge and will be back next year.
I'm not sure how much fitting advice I'd take from a marshal after looking at you for 2 seconds on the wall, but glad you found a gear that's working better.
