Oh man, that is so unfortunate! However, it's still a new personal best, and it's pretty evident now that sub-10 is inevitable, as long as you just keep playing. Don't stop, keep going; I want to see how fast you can go... is 9:45 on the cards?
Sweet performance! Congratulations with your sub 10 minute time and second place on the leaderboard. Your hard work has finally paid off. Go enjoy your time of hapiness now.
