I swear I didn't make up that acronym. But it works as a title. You can google it if you're curious.
But, had a race today! Went pretty well. Time wasn't anything special, but that's mostly because it was damn hot. Little bit of a bummer that they only got my gun time, because my chip time was more like 18:48 according to my watch, but who's counting? But the placement was pretty good. 2nd overall! I think that might have been the best outcome I've had in a race to date. But again, there wasn't really anyone crazy fast out there, so that's probably artificially inflated. But the trophy's pretty sick. HMU if you wanna see it.
As for the race itself, after about 4 minutes the lead pack separated from the masses, and I trailed them for most of the race. Worth noting the pack included a small girl too. That was kinda weird. But I kept rolling, keeping to the shade, following them until the last quarter mile. Then I started turning on the heat, and kept picking them off, going from 6th to 2nd. Felt awesome to do that. Rare thing.
No cooldown because screw it.
EDIT: They actually just updated my chip time, better than my watch got, 18:46.8!
