Summary: This was an amazing run for the second season. Joel moved at a fast pace through the whole temple. He practically jumped across the Swamp when he entered it. He also dodged a temple spirit in the Dark Forest and immediatly bust through the wall towards the Mine Shaft. In the Mine Shaft, he took the ladder to the Shrine. Joel faltered in the Shrine however and wasted almost thirty seconds trying to assemble the monkey. He still managed to get the Nose Ring with 1:33 left on the clock. Joel's strategy to exit the temple was not so smart. He traveled down the Central Shaft from the Observatory -- a move that killed quite a few temple runs. He made it back to the temple gate with about a little less than a minute left on the clock. Had he not traveled down the central shaft, he could've beat the Mask of Shaka Zulu's time.
TRIVIA:
-- Joel did not encounter a single temple guard at all during this run. The only other two episodes that occured were the
Much-Heralded Helmet of Sir Gawain and the Broken Trident of Poseidon.
-- Joel was the first contestant to bring an artifact out of the temple from the King's Storeroom room space.
-- Joel avoided a temple spirit in the Tomb of the Ancient Kings.
