Pacemaker role during grueling journey from Chicago to Jeonju

Hip Eutteum stepped up as a pacemaker to maintain and lead her husband's pace during this competition. According to Hip Eutteum, after returning to South Korea from Chicago just the day before yesterday, she completed interval training and a business trip to Busan the following morning, then traveled three and a half hours by car to arrive in Jeonju. She then began the race after getting only about three hours of sleep.

In the early stages of the race, Hip Eutteum checked her husband's pace and adjusted his speed. After passing the 1km mark at 4 minutes 52 seconds, she maintained the pace by recording 4 minutes 44 seconds at the 2km mark. While mentioning that her legs felt heavy due to accumulating fatigue after passing 3km, she appeared to strive not to lose the flow of the race, such as by taking her husband's sunglasses.

"The best pacer who held me when I wanted to give up"

From the middle of the race, passing the 5km mark and reaching the 7km mark, Hip Eutteum encouraged the pace while looking after her husband's posture and rhythm. From the 9km mark, she stayed with him through the end of the race, encouraging her husband for the final spurt.

After finishing the race, her husband evaluated her as the best pacer, stating, "I wanted to give up several times, but Hip Eutteum held me so well." In response, Hip Eutteum shared her feelings of having fully enjoyed the race in Jeonju despite the accumulated fatigue, saying, "It's my vibe. It was so much fun."

After finishing the race, Hip Eutteum showed composure by mentioning local foods such as Jeonju bibimbap and Choco Pie, and concluded her update by asking for interest in the upcoming 'R One Season Zero' regional qualifiers.
