Holy smokes B! Congratulations on a great race.
Just....excellent! I want to be like you when I grow up
I had no doubt that you had that race in you. It was just a matter of time, and a little bit of extra training. Well done, B! What a fantastic finish time! But next time, let's arrange a quick FE. I think you and I were the only Canadians there. :-)

Amazing, amazing job. You set a smart goal for yourself, held some amazingly even splits up till halfway, and then just pushed enough to get the best time you could without blowing up. It sounds like everything just came together for you. You must be thrilled with the result. Congratulations!
Congrats on a great race, and Happy Thanksgiving.
It was your day, for sure! I am so happy that it all came together for you, and that you had the confidence to just go for it!
Congrats on the fast race.. You are smoking fast..

A mind-boggling performance! Your excitement about your success is infectious and makes me think I too could one day run a marathon. When everything falls together like that in a race it's almost delerious! Way to go!!

Great job B+! To come back from running and run sub 3 is just amazing! You definitely have proven that you've had speed, and now you can add a marathon to an event you're fast at. Great job!
