After Highjack, drive to Blood Bowl and call-start the mission, holding the call before the mission fails and then driving to Verdant Meadows and dupe it.
From my testing, taking the highway seemed to be a bit quicker from Blood Bowl compared to driving to the garage and then taking the train tracks.

Time without loads (according to LiveSplit with Autosplitter) is 2:33:00.
There were a few places that just went horribly wrong, like the birds fight where Alan didnt pick up one of the flaregun ammo, which took me completely by surprise at the end. I crashed my car a few times, missed some car teleports and kind of had forgotten which my walk key was, which messed me up a bit for the elevator skip in the mine. Not that bad overall (some stuff went pretty perfectly), but still not quite satisfied because of those silly mistakes.")

Some silly mistakes, could save more time still, but overall pretty good. Definitely more satisified with this than not.

A bit after my locally recorded run I added an audio commentary to explain some stuff. Ive recorded it in several segments (I mean.. it is pretty long..). [Read on for more information]

## About the run
This run is NOT using the Woozie Skip, just the strats I know well enough to attempt in a run. My previous PB had NO dupes at all, hence the big timesaves.
This is an offline run, so no commentary, although Im planning to add commentary to it talking about things.
Dupes:
- T-Bone Mendez (skips Mike Toreno)
- Ran Fa Li (skips Lure)
- Amphibious Assault (skips The Da Nang Thang)
- Highjack (skips Interdiction)
- Verdant Meadows (skips N.O.E.)
- Fish in a Barrel (skips Freefall)
- Black Project (skips Green Goo)
- Beat Down on BDup (skips Grove4Life)
- Los Desperados (skips End of the Line Part 1, and thus Gang Territories)
All those dupes are explained on the wiki: https://kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas/Missions/Dupes

A lot of stupid small mistakes, some easy strats failed, but first run with the fast Ram Raider and some other small improvements.")

Kind of awful run (I know, speedrunners often say that). More stupid than usual police on Gate Crasher and some bad RNG in some other places (e.g. the truck taking a slower route during Riding Shotgun after getting stuck). A few smaller but annoying mistakes like messing up the rocket strat at the end. Still saved 2 minutes mostly due to new strats and not getting a tire shot on Home Wrecker.

I recorded the commentary shortly after the run, but didnt get to finishing/uploading it for a while, but I think it might still be interesting.
