Did I say that? I wanted to set an early "best" to see if I improve or fade over the ten weeks. Plus, Dave will be wearing funny pink ears for 4 races.
next up:


This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

Cutting 5 minutes off a PB - that's impressive, any way you slice it.

Congrats on a smooth job, well done.
