Really proud of this run! This run to me represents the end of the '3x era', as it incorporates every strategy every runner used when trying to break the 2:3x barrier for the first time: TAZ 3, Mug 7, PL8-8, 9x3, SMB11, and 3x choker, all executed to near perfection.

On top of all that, this run was the first ever 2:35 pace to train, and in fact was the best pace to train by over half a second, making it even more insane to me that I clutched it out.

I'm completely finished with this category for now although I may return for sub 2:35 some day, and I look forward to seeing others trying to beat this time in the future!
