Whoa, 40 minutes to rebuild all 14 pieces after that kind of crash? That's wild you pulled that off without losing your cool. I once lost a whole client shoot to a corrupted file and flat lay photos saved me too, so I totally get the scramble. Did the client notice the switch up, or did it fly under the radar?

My buddy runs a fitness page and I always thought his raw clips were lazy compared to my overproduced stuff, but watching your post flip it like that makes me rethink everything. Did the harsh comment sting at first or did you already know he was right?

Wait, does that mean I've been wandering around like a broken transformer this whole time? I feel your pain, man. I did a 40 mile section in Oregon last summer and spent two whole days blaming my aging hips and my ancient pack for the screaming knots in my shoulders. Turns out my sternum strap was riding up around my collarbone and my hip belt was sitting about an inch too high, so basically the pack was doing all the work my legs should've been doing. A guy at a resupply took one look and said my pack looked like it was trying to give me a piggyback ride while I was wearing it backwards. Fixed it in under a minute and I felt like a complete idiot, but also like I'd just discovered fire. Now I do a little strap check before I even leave the parking lot, and I still mess it up half the time.
