This was made on-stream during the fourth-year anniversary stream, so that now you guys know what my mysterious process is! Hopefully it’ll be on YouTube by now.

Rainbow Dash: But… But HOW?
Twilight Sparkle: Pretty easily, actually. I kept all my stamina points in reserve, so that I had plenty for the final sprint at the end… Rarity and Fluttershy supported me with their cheering…
Rarity: Indeed.
Fluttershy: Y-Yes, that’s right. Sorry for not supporting you two at all…
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie’s outburst about the Gala ticket made even the smart runners a little less careful in their pacing…
Pinkie Pie: Hooray! I helped!
Twilight Sparkle: And then, of course, with the two of you HORSING around on top of that, it was quite easy.
Rainbow Dash: Ugggggh.
Applejack: Beating us at our own game is one thing, Twi, but bad puns?
Twilight Sparkle: Heh heh. Sorry.
