Well the first Pro contest is in the books. I didn't get a call but also didn't embarrass myself eigther. We got mostly 7s and 8s and nothing lower than a 6. We did make several minor rookie mistakes but did avoid the biggies. Not too bad for a first time cooking all 4 catagories together. Well the picks are posted on the website.

Well we placed 39 out of 48 teams. We made several rookie mistakes, like not trusting previous time trial information and starting meats too early. Our scores were,

CH 987, 777, 877, 978, 876, 889
RI 766, 766, 879, 898, 778, 867
PK 878, 877, 879, 989, 878, 977
BR 768, 977, 989, 876, 769, 778

Not really bad just nothing spectacular.
 
the first is always the toughest, and a learning experience.
The fact that you beat that many teams in your first
try bodes well for you...still, having fun is the most
important part!!
 
Maybe we'll meet at a contest somewhere. I want to thank you guys out for the help with the brisket. I felt really good about those scores since the first brisket I ever cooked was just this March. I just over cooked it. I got nervous and put it on too early and had to pull it 5 hours before turn-in. Kinda long to rest it.
 
I think you did a good job Rooster. The competition you were against was really tough for anyone to beat. My turn this week!
