+The course was challenging but flowed well, and I really enjoyed my time on course. Still, this wasn't my best bit of racing; I finished in fourth out of four.
+
+I got to ride with each of my competitors and learned that they were *just driving faster* throughout the whole course. I'm not sure why I'd never thought to try that before, but I'll have to remember it for next time.

+### Highlights
+
+- This week was kind of a blur as a I scrambled to tie up remaining loose ends leading up to my last day at work. It took a lot of doing but I'm pleased with how I left things; hopefully all the stuff I built won't fall apart *too* quickly without me.
+
+- My (now former) boss surprised me with a letter of recommendation that says some really nice things about me. That feels pretty good.
+- I'm expecting a sizeable payout for my (extensive) unused vacation time so I splurged on some bike gear: a pair of Garmin Rally XC200[1] power-sensing pedals. We got some weather toward the end of the week so I haven't had a chance to ride with them yet, but I'm really looking forward to tracking my power data starting tomorrow.
+- I ended the week with a much-needed autocross race[2]. (I always get a bit twitchy when it's been too long between events.)

+- We watched the final installment of The Grand Tour[1]: *One for the Road*. I've been following the vehicular adventures of Clarkson, Hammond, and May for twenty years, and this last hurrah was a good one to end on. But man, I'm going to miss watching those guys. (Also, Zimbabwe is stunning!) - We started Only Murders in the Building[2] and I'm enjoying it quite a lot. Steve Martin and Martin Short are such a delight together.
