Comments:

Really wanted to break the magic 2 hr marker. Been within 2 min and change before but never gotten there. Was well ahead of pace at 10k(54min), so just thought i need to run 6min/kms to break it. I hit around 16k and for the first time I thought i about walking. i knew I was about 5 minutes ahead of 2hr pace- which was my inital goal. But I was proud of myself that I shook that feeling off, and continued to run hard. At the finish I was DONE. Which was a great feeling.

Event comments:

Nice small town race. Very few participants in the 1/2, but the 5k and 10k had quite a few.
