Uj/ first in my age division for two races in a row, forgot to grab my ribbon last time. 6/7th overall out of ~230 both times. Fuck the other running subs so posting here.
Rj/ stayed up all night with my wife’s boyfriend, a transfer pump, and a quart of Gu. Probably could have finished earlier if my butt plug didn’t fall out after mile 2. Gonna try taping it down next time. Wasn’t the vaporfly’s or fenix watch’s fault.

If I tap the gas pedal a few times and then let the car warm up for a minute, the problem goes away and the car drives fine. I can park and restart the car just fine if done within an hour or two of stopping, but I don’t know if it’s engine temp or fuel pressure related.
I think it may be the fuel pressure regulator but also suspect the cold start injector. It does smell like it’s starting a bit rich on some days.
The car has a new fuel pump and filter, new ovp, new crank position sensor.
When the temp outside is cooler, it is less difficult to cold start than when it is warm outside.
