Consistent Early Pace, Challenging Finish Mya Elkins maintained a steady pace throughout the first half of the race, showcasing consistent splits around the 8:30 to 8:40 min/mile mark. Notably, her third mile was executed in 8:35, positioning her 411th overall, 78th among females, and 18th in her division. However, she started losing pace from the 11th mile onwards. In the latter stages, Mya's pace slowed, particularly from mile 19 onward, with splits over 10:00 min/mile. Despite the deceleration, she impressively finished the marathon in 4:09:18, achieving a 9:30 min/mile overall pace. In her division, she finished 40th out of 2517 total participants. For future races, focusing on maintaining later-stage speed might improve her overall positioning. Excellent effort across such a long distance!
