Yeah I got off really easy.Go easy on them corners man, accelerate out of the the turn, glad you and the bike are ok though, at least there weren't any traffic.
+1 and body position. That curve didn't require near the angle you were leaning the bike. I'm not saying hang of Marquez style, but I'd venture a guess you were not even in a neutral position.Glad it turned out okay.
Counter steering, and target fixation...

I remember a warning I received during my first track day at VIR a few years ago. "Early in, early out".Looks like OP hit the early apex of the turn and turned in way too early which caused a wide departure angle.
Glad you're ok! Sucks when that happens!
I didn't have my head in the right place going into the turn. I'm a new rider and usually I use a mental checklist of what I've learned so far as I go into corners. After riding ~3.5 hours I had a mental lapse. My eyes weren't looking ahead enough and I took a bad line, and after I crossed the center line I target fixated on the shoulder. My body position was leaning to the right, but I was still pretty much on my seat and obviously that had an impact on my turn as well.I remember a warning I received during my first track day at VIR a few years ago.

OP - thanks for posting this. You're opening yourself up to a lot of Monday morning quarterbacking. From a learning standpoint - what struck me as odd was the OP seemed to lean the bike, but not the body. Almost like you didn't commit to the turn. What happened?
Sh*t happens, just make sure you learn from it. Now you know what it's like to take it too hot/wide.I didn't have my head in the right place going into the turn.
