PYT who started the same time as me is now fully integrated into the group. Lacking any charisma or social grace, I had my one option to endear myself: sit on the leaders. This worked well until near my house, where I missed the surge and got gapped as they drifted into the 8:00/range. Finally on the home stretch they relaxed so I could close. The co founder was not far behind and introduced herself - nice people.
