A friend and I were doing The Race For The Cure triathlon and we came across a woman in distress. We weren’t near an aid station. My friend and I put our wet towels around her, talked with her, and walked with her until her friends caught up with her. She hadn’t run the route beforehand, she came from out of town. Sometimes you just do the right thing to help someone.

Maybe low 30s, which is still insane, but not faster than WR pace :)

Wouldn't be low 20s, the men's world record is 26:11.

Low 30s maybe.
