    @7lenny7 and @PastorVincent thanks, you folks really are awesome!
    Soo I just received the 'race guide'. I had some vague idea of attaching myself to a pace group. There are apparently going to be pacers for the HM for target finishing times of 1hr30, 1hr42, 1hr45 or 2h. So yeah, umm, I'll be running alone lol with my conservative expectation of somewhere between 2hr30 and 2hr45. The good news is the sweep wagon will be passing 5k at 42 minutes, 10k at 1hr25 and 20km at 2hr50 so hey I should be good! I wonder if they have a prize for the last one in before the wagon, that sounds like something I could aim for LOL

    get the most out of your race entry. :)

    My first HM time was 2hr 45min and I wasn't last, and I bet you won't be either. Have fun.

    Many people take over 3 hours.

    @eleanorhawkins Most races don't have such a prize, but it happens often enough that there's a term for it: DFL Prize. On the local Fleet Feet FB group, someone suggested a DFL Prize for the Donut Mile (4 x eat a donut, run a quarter mile, on January 1). The organizer said he'd consider adding one. I won't be there to watch; I'll be running a 7.5 mile race on the other side of town at that time.
