Comments                : Map20 - Time: 1:29.  I really like this map and
                          it was a lot of fun!

                          Dance and die after killing first guy.
                          
                                                                                         
                        : Map19 - Time: 1:52.  Tough map at start. Most times 
                          the spider opens the door and drives you crazy.
                          Difficult if your going for a good 'time' run.

                          Dance and die at start.
                          
                                                                                      
                        : Map12 - Time: 2:08.  I tried this map 50 - 75 times
                          over a two day period using two different routes
                          and just couldn't get it done.  Hurt-Me-Plenty was
                          starting to look attractive - remember, UV is only
                          optional!  However, if I did it in HMP, my two
                          mentors, Peo Sjoblom and Yonatan Donner, would
                          never speak to me again!

                          I decided to figure out another route and, as you
                          can see, was successful.  In fact, this route
                          didn't cause me any problems at all! My lucky day!

                          I was really happy until I realized I had put 
                          myself in a "Catch 22" situation - I couldn't
                          honestly claim this title without suffering more!
                          I had to do another from the HARD set!
                             
                          Dance and die at start.


                        : Map09 - Time: 4:03. I chose this map because par is
                          4:30 and I could feel better about myself for a
                          longer period of time before I got killed while
                          recording!

                          Actually, while I was waiting for my D2M exam, I
                          tried to record each map in UV with 100% kills.
                          This one gave me fits but I finally did it in 56:00
                          minutes and, while victorous, I was left with
                          mental scars and visions of "Time Sucks" just a
                          mere four minutes away.

                          So, now I was torn between facing my fear or taking
                          a shot at map29 (hardest)!  I didn't consider the
                          others.  My wife suggested I 'bite the bullet' and
                          do map09. She was afraid I might slip over the edge
                          trying to do map29.. doctor bills and all you know!
  
                          Final Score: Rich (1) Map9 (0). Gotcha you S.O.#%$!

                          Dance and die at start.
                                                
                          P.S. I hesitated in the yellow key cavern because I
                          had planned to jump on the suit immediately but,
                          in that instance, it seemed premature.  Would have
                          finished under 4:00!  Didn't it seem like I was on
                          that blue key lift for an eternity near the end?

                    Note: I've completed my D1M, D2M, D1SG, D1GM & this D2SG.
                          I have my D2GM, D1T, D2T, D1I and D2I challenges
                          and a new prayer book!
