It took a long (for me) and discouraging grind for me to get this, but I'm satisfied with this run. I could have gotten low .1 with a clean water section, but even with the touchdowns, 8-5 is still about what I was going for.
Special thanks go to alabastro1, yelir64, Littlezombie, LiamTrader, Spiker, Antimony, Kuto, Scrimsion, and many others for giving me the inspiration to keep going. Also many thanks to Nebula for the keyboard recommendation (Keychron K5 Pro), as I was getting really frustrated with my last keyboard and most likely wouldn't have gotten low 4:57 for a long time otherwise.
Anyway, that's about it. 4:56 is coming soon!
