Consistent pacing with mid-race challenges Avantika Bawa participated in the 2026 Shamrock Run Fest's half marathon, representing Team Red Lizard. Over the course of 13.1 miles, she maintained an overall pace of 11:35 min/mile, delivering a final time of 2:31:48. Notably, her best pace of the race was achieved between miles 4 and 5, where she clocked in at 10:47 min/mile. During the second mile, her pace slowed to 18:33 min/mile, which ended up being the slowest segment. She demonstrated resilience by improving her pace subsequently. A return of paces under 12:00 min/mile after the eighth mile signifies her capability to push through towards the end. In her division, she ranked 39th out of 52, suggesting potential to focus on middle segment pacing strategies to close gaps more effectively. Keep building on these pacing strategies for more advanced improvements.
