Less than 40 minutes after typing that sentence, this run happens. Fate?

This feels surreal. I set my first ever RT WR on this very track on 12th February 2017 and held this track for 5 and a half years straight until this month. I always knew a time like this was possible since hitting the first .8 in 2019 but given my best splits at the time summing to 838 I thought it was too much to ask for back then.

Analysis:

Lap 1 - 26.088
Below average for this standard (on my better sessions this would be in the slowest 10% of lap 1s I hit). It started ok until the triple MT, specifically after releasing the 2nd of them I went a bit wide resulting in a slower 3rd MT. U turn was a little wide, shroomed a little too early but was still decent and the last 2 turns were good but clearly improvable since I lose to the ghost on both.

Lap 2 - 25.892
Any .8 is really good for me but this still has a few small losses. 2nd turn had a slow ish MT charge, triple was good but can be better, 2nd to last turn can be done better and I clipped off road last turn. Still very solid lap for the standards.

Lap 3 - 25.863
Super clutch. This is my best lap 3 by 30ms. Only improvable spots were the third MT of the triple, the shroom exit and the 2nd to last turn. Due to the pace I was on entering the lap I had almost no nerves so I decided to go all out. That being said, I was still surprised that lap 3 was as quick as it was but I guess everything else was just that good ;)

My best splits: 26.042 / 25.880 / 25.863 = 1:17.785

This track has always been special to me since it's where my first WR happened. That being said, before this run happened I had lost 4 track records in under 2 months. I know I shouldn't care too much about these things but it's hard not to feel at least a little sad about something like that. I'm glad to at least have gotten this back.

A 1:17.7 is not out of the question humanly, but that would take a run of ungodly perfection.
