This is how all races should be run.
E.J.Greater Lowell Road RunnersCry havoc and let slip the dawgs of war!May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your SPF30, may the rains fall soft upon your sweat-wicking hat, and until you hit the finish line may The Flying Spaghetti Monster hold you in the hollow of His Noodly Appendage.

That goes for race directors AND runners. Nicely done Perfesser, congrats!
I forgot to mention... I caught the bunny!
For my part, I wanted to run sub-8 minute pace for the HM, and ended up at 1:41:09, a 7:44 pace. Best of all, a PR by over 5 minutes, my previous PR was in 1989! Whoo-hoo! (Modified for clarity)
At the end of the day, be happy with where you are and what you've accomplished.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger. Neitzsche "Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go." "Dedication and commitment are what transfer dreams into reality."
Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
