3 Minutes too late for my ice cream - Running 27k on time

After my recent bakery run, i looked for a new fun challenge, this one is about getting some icecream in a nearby town.

When i finally found the time to get started and ran for like ten minutes already, i realized that i had less than one hour left - i never ran this route before and was barely able to calculate how much time i'd need and actually thought i may need upto ten minutes longer that deadline since the store would close at 8pm.

So i actually hurried so much that i needed a couple of mini-breaks to avoid the sidestitch from becoming too dominating, and this on a headache day. xD
I actually almost made it, only three minutes too late to my own surprise.

So this was at around 12.5k already, when i started, i was expecting to get at least some little bottle of water or something there but actually even the gas station and a different grocery store was closed, so i "wasted" around 2-three kilometers in town in order to get on my way back.

My way back quickly became a pain, i wasted too much energy for getting to the store by time and i realized that i should have tried the Doner in the town to get back to some energy, my pace was falling and falling, however i had to make it home before it was totally dark, because my fear of warthogs and my responsibility for our chickenfarm, i couldn't risk damage by some fox and such.

At 20k there was a little festival or something, in order to get in they would have me charge 7€ which i wouldn't accept just to get to some festival store for some energy but luckily a friendly girl at the inlet offered me some of her water...-ish stuff she had in a pocket in her car.
So a half liter later i felt better and continued my way home again.
Now it was getting darker and darker and even in villages it was like all the people where gone, spooky but nice, there was no wind too, it was only me making noises, stunning.

*Wush* a deer crossing the street in front of me... some time later an even louder noise, warthog?! No, just a badger... some time later another deer, no meeting with warthogs at all, *pew*.
My pace however, still on a free fall, hurting feets but almost home, i made it. :)

I think i will start a second attempt as soon as i can walk normally again. xD
Fun fact, looks like this is not only a personal distance but also evaluation record again.
And fastest half-marathon too.
