Her overall race pace was 14:18 min/mile, and she ranked 694th in her F40-49 division. Notably, she showed strategic pace adjustments throughout the race. Her first mile was completed in 11:58, and she maintained it steadily until mile 2, which took 13:57. The split for mile 3 was 14:44, a noticeable adjustment made possibly to tackle Hayes Hilla challenging segment between miles 2.2 and 2.7. In terms of race dynamics, Abi improved her division rank from 523 to 381 by mile 3, emphasizing her strong mid-race strategy. However, her pace slightly slowed in mile 5 to 14:45 and again in mile 6 to 14:49, suggesting fatigue or the need for more consistent pacing in the latter part of the race. Nonetheless, overall, Abi maintained her performance well against 24,523 participants, demonstrating her capability as a competitive runner in her age group.
