TIL my rear cog can loosen up after 200 miles of riding

Was climbing a mild hill last week and suddenly my pedals spun free with no resistance. The cog had worked itself loose because I didn't torque it down enough after a wheel swap. Threaded it back on with a chain whip and lockring tool, anyone else had this happen with a new build?

Honestly, "pedals spun free with no resistance" is just about the sketchiest way to find out your work wasn't tight enough. I've done the same thing on a brand new build and seriously thought I snapped a chain for a second. At least you got to practice your chain whip technique in a panic, that's a win in my book.
