Track performance over time with weekly logs and a monthly review: best time, average, and one lesson learned. Arena Time history makes the monthly review a ten-minute job.
Weekly: capture
Log runs in the moment. Don’t rely on memory after a long haul home.
Monthly: interpret
Ask: Did average improve? Is variance shrinking? Which event is stuck? Write three bullets max.
Season: decide
Use the story to pick winter schooling priorities. Data without decisions is just storage.
