Eroadhouse got on a run that was 25 seconds ahead after Episode 2. This was the best pace anyone had ever been on that early. He lost a bit of time from missing a clip in 4-2, but managed to improve to 30 seconds ahead leaving Episode 4. With one of the greatest ever first halves of a run, he just needed to avoid disaster in the back half to get his third consecutive record. But instead of avoiding a disaster, something else happened.
