Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Enables Steady Performance Kristen Williams maintained a consistent pace throughout the race, notably improving her position in key segments. She started with an 11:23 min/mile pace, gradually accelerating to an 11:07 min/mile pace between mile 8 and mile 9, leading to an improvement in her division rank from 17th to 15th. Kristen's speed was consistent up until mile 15, where a deceleration began, most notable between miles 16 through 18 where her pace dropped to 16:41 min/mile at mile 16. Despite this drop, her steady approach in the first half of the marathon helped her finish strong. Overall, Kristen completed the marathon in 5:24:53, placing 20th in her division and 543rd among female participants. Notably, she finished ahead of 481 participants overall.
