Steady Progress and Strong Finish Tyler maintained a consistent pace starting with two identical mile splits of 11:37. This consistency helped maintain positions early in the race. Notably, Tyler navigated Hayes Hill between miles 2.2 and 2.7. While the pace slightly dropped to 11:45 over that segment, the impact was minimal, showcasing an ability to handle challenging terrain. In the latter part of the race, there was impressive acceleration. Splits improved markedly in miles six and seven, coming in at 10:30 and 10:07, respectively. Overall performance shows a solid finish with an official elapsed time of 1:23:10 for the 12K, and a notable placing in the top half of the field. These improvements over the course, coupled with a final pace average of 11:09 min/mile, indicate a successful race strategy and strong capability. Focusing on managing elevation changes in the early miles could yield even more impressive results next time.
