Short deadline
After uncovering a misunderstanding in the team that left us without much time to put things right, I volunteered to hack through a whole new document in a few hours. It ended up taking me a couple of days to get everything done and in place, but was refreshing to have a short, stretch deadline for a change, rather than longer ones.
In a short race you don't have to pace yourself as much. You also can leave email until after the race. I'm not sure that was the best part, thought.
The most fun I had was learning about, playing with, and then explaining a new part of the product I was only vaguely familiar with as late as last Tuesday. It's actually really cool. Too bad we cannot go public with it, yet.
