Nice trend to end the race on, Big Country — you were dropping time each lap and closed out 1.95s faster than where you started, which tells me you were finding your rhythm as the run went on. That's exactly the direction you want: figuring things out live and carrying it forward. Take that improving trend as your starting point next time — treat lap 8 as your new benchmark, not lap 1, and see how early in the race you can get there.
