Steady Pacing Carries Her to a Top-10% Marathon Finish Sarah Robbins finished the marathon in 3:53:10, placing 286th overall and 58th among women in a field of 3,305. Her race unfolded in two distinct phases: a controlled, even effort through 20 miles, holding between 8:27 and 8:34 per mile, followed by a natural fade over the closing miles as fatigue caught up before she found her legs again for the final stretch. Her strongest stretch came between miles 11 and 17, where she covered seven miles at roughly 8:23 per mile, the most consistent segment of her race. That effort carried her through the marathon's back roads before the course returned to the Pearl Street Mall for the finish. Given the tightness of that middle stretch, Robbins might look at ways to extend that rhythm deeper into the race next time.
