PaulH Nov 2025 4:38pm, 9 Nov 2025 2 posts	PaulH Was at an event recently where the 44min pacemaker had nobody around them, so decided to speed up and finish well ahead of the 42 min pacer. Unfortunately, I'd heard two people earlier say that if they could keep the 44 vest in sight then they might break 45 mins for the first time. People don't need to be next to you for you to be useful to them.
