Promising Finish with a Strong Second Half Allison maintained a steady pace in the initial miles, clocking in at 11:23 for the first mile, but faced a significant decrease in pace to 15:39 during the second mile, coinciding with the ascent of Hayes Hill. Impressively, she adjusted well in subsequent miles, improving her pace and positions, moving from 8837th place overall in the second mile to a more promising 5724th by mile six. Her strongest performance was reflected in the final mile split of 10:20, demonstrating a strong finish.
