When things go wrong it's easy to make a reactive lift off the throttle or a big steering correction without realizing it.
Video can be a big help as it will often reveal things that you don't know or remember doing. It's humbling but always better to know the truth.
Not suggesting it was anything more than you say it was. Just saying learning to manage those variables comes with seat time.

I know. And I appreciate it.
It's just frustrating personally because one of the things on which I like to pride myself is my calm under pressure. I definitely rushed my recovery when there was no need and I thought I'd already had that mental talk with myself after I had a similar spin during my three day at turn 6.
Still: I'm out there trying to learn and I really think I did...
