why bother wasting their time

seems too basic to me imo

I was doing a SOLW speedrun - https://www.speedrun.com/mcce#Stack_of_Lime_Wool and I was on a run I thought was dead, then I tabbed out to check the time and it was record pace, and I end up finishing the run 2 seconds behind WR. Does pausing the game also pause the timer? If so, then its WR. Please let me know
