Consistent Recovery with a Strong Finish Lillie exhibited notable consistency with her pacing, especially overcoming the challenging stretch between Miles 2 and 4. Her adaptation on Hayes Hill was evident, adjusting her split pace from 13:50 min/mile at Mile 2 to a more measured 15:41 min/mile by Mile 3. This strategic pacing allowed her to conserve energy and place significantly higher, progressing from 7214 to 5670 in overall standings by Mile 3. Her finish in the race shows impressive resilience, with her fastest pace recorded at Mile 7 - a split time of 10:35 min/mile. Notably, Lillie achieved her best gender place at the end of Mile 3, showing effective tactical execution to regain ground.

With continued focus on hill training, particularly targeting steeper inclines, she could likely bring her overall placement closer to her early race potential.
