Consistent Effort with Slight Decline Over Distance Dan maintained a consistent pace of 19:12 min/mile for the first two miles, holding his ground in the M60-69 division at 351st place initially. This consistency helped him establish a solid foundation for the race. Notably, he faced a significant pace adjustment from mile 3 onward, with a split time of 23:12 and slowing thereafter. The elevation from mile 2.2 to 2.7, known as Hayes Hill, may have influenced his pace during this stretch. From mile 4 onwards, Dan's pace shifted towards the 33:49 min/mile mark, which continued to his finish at a 26:42 min/mile average pace. Despite the increased time per mile, he successfully completed the 12K race with an official time of 3:18:57. Throughout the race, Dan remained steady, highlighting endurance, and finishing among 26545 participants. Consider focusing on pacing strategies for elevation changes in future races to support consistent performance throughout the course.
