It looks like it works but you probably a better way to debug it. Who knows maybe your eventLog1 is null

Update your onstart to include this

 protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
     {
        foreach (string arg in args)
        {
            if (arg == "DEBUG_SERVICE")
                    DebugMode();

        }

     #if DEBUG
         DebugMode();
     #endif

     eventLog1.WriteEntry("Service Started");
     timer1.Elapsed += timer1_Elapsed;
     timer1.Interval = 10000;
     timer1.Enabled = true;

    }

private static void DebugMode()
{

    Debugger.Break();
}

Now when you hit start on the service you'll get a dialog asking if you want to attach. Its way easier then trying to attach manually.
