Consistent Performance with Strong Finish Crystal Hayes demonstrated a consistent effort with a notable improvement as the race progressed. Starting with a pace of 9:43 min/mile for the first mile, she gradually increased her speed, dropping to an impressive 8:45 min/mile by the fourth mile. This ability to quicken her pace as the race continued is commendable and highlights effective race pacing strategy.
