Steady Effort with Consistent Splits Lien Nguyen's performance showcased consistency over the 10K distance with incremental changes in pace. Starting with a strong opening mile at 12:14, she maintained a disciplined effort, clocking 12:39 for the second mile and progressing through the course with slight increases each mile, reaching a 14:38 pace for the final split. This gradual pacing strategy is notable and illustrates a consistent and mindful approach to the race. The overall completion time of 1:23:37, at an average pace of 13:29 per mile, reflects balanced effort throughout the event.
