Ah, OK. So some super focused driving with load (DWL) / "target" driving. Nice work.

No opportunities to pull off to let following traffic by you? I did that a few times on my weekend trip where I was DWL as well. When I see someone coming up in my rear view, I start looking for opportunities ahead where I can let them by. The only frustrating thing is getting someone on my bumper who for whatever reason *won't* take an opportunity to pass even when it's clear sailing.
