Consistent Start with a Strong Finish Dermot Molony maintained a consistent pace across the first two miles with a solid 14:04 min/mile pace, holding 5,044th place in his gender group, M, at both marks. Notably, after tackling Hayes Hill between miles 2 and 3, Dermot improved his position significantly, rising from 9,738th overall to 7,792nd by the end of the third mile. His split time increased to 18:20, suggesting some effort exerted on the steep hill, but the impressive gain in standings highlights strategic pacing. In the later stages, Dermot experienced some slowdown, particularly between miles 4 and 5, with split times of over 27 minutes. However, his recovery is commendable in the last two splits, where he improved to sub-10-minute miles. These final efforts were critical, as they helped him finish with a total time of 2:03:25 for the 12K race. Continuing such strong finishes will enhance overall performance going forward.
