Her pacing was steady across the first 4 km: 5:50, 5:38, 5:53, and 5:47, keeping her overall pace tightly controlled through the race. The standout stat was the final kilometre in 5:25, her quickest of the day and 28 seconds faster than her slowest kilometre.

As a coachs note, aiming to bring kilometre 3 closer to the pace of kilometres 2 and 4 could make the overall run even sharper at fast evening events like Run The Wharf.
