Solid race, Bart — you were still improving in the closing laps, dropping 2.44s, which tells you focus and pace were building right when others often fade. Sector 3 was your strong point all day, so keep leaning on whatever you're doing right there. Your real opportunity is sector 2 — smoothing that out to match your own best would bring your 45.79s lap down toward your 43.62s ideal, worth over 2 seconds a lap. Take that improving trend as your baseline for next time and see if you can start the race at the pace you were finishing it.
