Consistent Mid-Race and Strong Finishing Kick Madeline demonstrated a steady performance, maintaining an average pace of 9:26 min/mile throughout the half marathon. Notably, she showed significant speed during mile 2 with a split pace of 8:59 min/mile and managed one of her faster paces in mile 9 with 8:57 min/mile. Her finish was strong with another quick pace of 8:28 min/mile in the final mile, contributing to a final time of 2:03:38. While experiencing some variability, Madeline maintained a generally even pace, particularly impressive given the longer distance. Her mid-race adjustments reflect a solid racing strategy, with her splits around miles 4 through 8 each just over 10 minutes, indicating areas where pace was better conserved for the strong finish. Continued focus on refining pace consistency and shifting spare energy towards mid-race segments can work in her favor in future runs.
