I'm still in disbelief that I got this time.
My former PB was awful and I was just trying to get a respectable PB, but instead I got a near perfect run. The only serious mistake was wiping out in the Birch forest, which actually probably cost a potential 8:29.xx. Given that, I think 8:29.xx is now feasible rather than just theoretical.
I had a few previous runs on decent paces that died because of some ridiculous screwups in Last Call that usually almost never happen and had me feeling extremely frustrated going into this attempt and the few previous ones, so having a near perfect Last Call is pretty much the icing on the cake for this run.
I'm obviously gonna put this category on the backburner now, but now I feel confident that I will get 8:29.xx someday.
