I was told to "expedite" my first taildragger solo landing due to a cherokee " catching you up on finals". It was also my first landing on tarmac. This was at a fly-in just after I got my PPL. I was very nervous and unhappy with the pressure and probably felt just like you did on finals.
However I made the mistake that you didn't,and carried on.
It resulted in me ground looping off the runway and going into the spectators. By a miracal no one was hurt.
The cherokee had to go round anyway,which of course is exactly what he should have done anyway and I learnt a lesson the hard way!
Believe me.You did the right thing as agreed by everyone on this post!
