Strong Front Half Fuels a Solid Marathon Finish Elena Eddy crossed the line in 4:16:36, an overall 9:47 min/mile pace. Her race built on remarkable consistency: from mile 1 through mile 18, she held between 9:05 and 9:54 per mile, never straying far off that rhythm. Her sharpest stretch came from miles 9 through 11, where she covered three miles in just under 27 minutes an average of about 9:00 per mile, the fastest sustained running of her day. The final third told a different story, as her pace eased to the 10:4111:51 range from miles 19 to 23, before she found another gear over the closing mile, dropping back to 9:36. Eddy's effort came through Boulder's thin air, above 5,000 feet, on a course that finishes on the historic Pearl Street Mall. Her dip in the low 20s lined up with the stretch past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, just before she rallied to close out the marathon.
