Steady Pacing Powers a Strong Finish Andrea Lilly crossed the marathon finish in 3:56:15, placing 322nd overall and 63rd among women in the field of 3,305, a result that lands her among the race's top finishers. Her mile splits held in a tight band through the first 20 miles, mostly between 8:34 and 9:29 per mile, keeping her cumulative pace anchored near 9:10 before tightening steadily to 9:01 by the finish. Her strongest stretch came between miles 10 and 13, where she clicked off 9:05, 8:34, 9:02 and 8:25, a four-mile stretch that dipped well under her overall pace and set up a smooth second half. That control carried her the rest of the way, including the final miles into downtown Boulder, where the course finishes on the historic Pearl Street Mall.
