Lesson learned - Pay attention

I made many mistakes in this near-lowside. I was closer to going down than it seems in the video.

First, and primarily, was not paying attention. I focused on the passing riders and didn't pay attention to the upcoming intersection.
A close Second was that I was carrying too much speed for the rapidly approaching turn.
Third, I didn't pay attention to the road conditions. I would have been in a real bad spot if there was heavier cross-traffic.
Fourth was lane position. With the sandy roads this early in the season, I was in position 2 when I should have been in position 1 or 3.

Any more glaring mistakes/suggestions?
