Consistent Start, Gradual Slowdown The race began with a strong start, maintaining impressive consistency in the early miles. The runner clocked an average pace of around 6:30 min/mile through the first 5 miles, securing the top spot in the M35-39 division. Notably, the early splits showed marked uniformity, with the first three miles consistently hitting a pace of 6:29 min/mile. As the race progressed, there was a gradual increase in split times, with the pace easing to around 7:19 min/mile by mile 21. The final splits showed an observable slowdown, peaking at a 9:05 min/mile pace at mile 13. This indicates some fatigue as the race neared its end. Ending in a commendable 2nd place within the division, focusing on maintaining consistent pacing in later stages could further enhance performance. Consistency in the first half and strategic pacing in the latter part can bring about a more balanced finish.
