here's an update: i beat my previous pb by 1 second but died once(?).
going back to 2000m (that's where i died), i noticed that that one death actually made me lose 4-5 seconds (this is probably very inaccurate because i used the in game timer to count).
now i kinda wanna go for sub 1:35 and i want my time pb to be deathless as well anyways so i might as well go for an even better time
