Strong Finish with a Mid-Race Challenge Maddy Racicot started consistently, maintaining a steady pace with her first two miles clocked at 13:28 min/mile and 13:17 min/mile. However, by the third mile, which included the steep Hayes Hill between miles 2.2 and 2.7, her split time increased to 16:16 min/mile. This section impacted her overall standing, but she showed great resilience. After struggling in the fourth mile with a split pace of 27:40 min/mile, Maddy's performance improved significantly. She made a strong comeback, recording progressively faster paces: 13:47 min/mile, 11:11 min/mile, and an impressive 10:56 min/mile in consecutive miles. This improvement helped her move up considerably in placement within her division. For future races, focusing on handling steep climbs like Hayes Hill may provide even better results. Overall, Maddy finished her 12K race with a time of 1:51:27 and a commendable effort in the latter stages.
