Got 2 decent runs in tonight. First was a 11.38 (Video) and the second was a 11.34

Better traction but it's just gotten too warm down here for the really good runs. My video guy left before my last run so only a timeslip for that one, and yes I know it's too small to see.

It's probably a gradual deal. My best without the spray was 11.65 in 45 degree weather. Once it got warmer, I was running 12.1-12.2.
