Last Major Long Run Before Hennepin

It's 20 days till the Hennepin Hundred and I got my last major run in this morning.  My goal was to run between five and six hours at a reasonable pace.  This was my last chance to test my run/walk strategy of 10/2 for an ultra distance.  It went very well, covering 32.4 miles in five hours and twenty-nine minutes for a 10:06 per mile average.  I stayed pretty steady throughout the run with miles ranging from 9:18 to 10:36 depending on when the walk occurred.  The last four miles were 9:18, 9:59, 10:02 and 10:13 (last one with Pepper, our dog).  I felt pretty decent for the whole run.  I had two stops to buy drinks and snacks for about another 10 minutes.  With this latest run, I have decided to go with the 10/2 strategy for as long as I can at the race and see where I end up before I have to adjust.  I am hoping to reach the halfway point without any major changes in the strategy.
