I intend to race. Let's see if I make it.

I intended to race, but then somehow jumped to B8 directly rather than to the plotted point of A8. Then there was the 11000m storm of doom.

But hey, I still took third! ;)

You didn't take third, just got it's prize. Semantics to you, I bet.
Oct 08, 2006 Dr. Lecter link
No, actually I quite literally took third. Took him and popped him. Moreover, if I hadn't gotten bored and had instead kept going, I'd have gotten third anyway... but that would have been much much less fun.
