Fumbled 1st round technical - reach out to alum?

I received a first round through networking with an alum who is a VP at a top BB. During the first round I spoke with another VP in the group and messed up on a basic technical (no excuses; answered it correctly 100 times before but froze up at that moment). Aside from that hiccup all other areas were fine. Have not heard back after a few days. Any point in reaching out to the alum VP to see if I can redeem myself?
