The Twickenham Auto Club[1] hosted its eigth autocross event of the season today. I had been a bit afraid about the weather given the forecast toward the end of the week, but the conditions turned out to be pretty great.

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.

*Here's what I've been up to since the last weekly status[1]...*
|
||||
|
||||
=> /this-week-2024-09-08 1: last weekly status
|
||||
|
||||
### 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.)

|
||||
|
||||
### I wrote...
|
||||
|
||||
- I reflected a bit[1] on the things I accomplished in my last job as I get ready to start a new one. It was pretty satisfying to look back at the impact I had there.
|
||||
=> /the-end-of-something-and-the-start-of-something-else/ 1: reflected a bit
|
||||
|
||||
### I consumed...
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
- My wife and I continued our little Alien marathon[1] with Alien: Covenant[2]. I guess now we'll have to go see Alien: Romulus[3] soon.

|
||||
|
||||
- We also watched Elvira: Mistress of the Dark[1]. What a treat!
|
||||
- I finished reading Jason Pargin's If This Book Exists, You're in the Wrong Universe[2], and started reading Consider Phlebas[3] by Iain M. Banks.
