Notably, she managed to improve her pace significantly during the fourth mile, clocking a split pace of 10:19 min/mile, her fastest in the entire race, reflecting a strategic boost. Lisa's performance demonstrated resilience as she negotiated her way through the midway point and managed a notable second wind. Although the seventh and tenth miles saw her pace slow to 11:17 min/mile and 11:31 min/mile, respectively, she capably adjusted towards the end, finishing the race with a competitive division placement of 124 out of 3215 women in her category.
