Consistent Early Splits and a Final Surge Erin maintained a steady pace throughout the early miles of the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon. Her splits from mile 1 through 6 showed minor variations, staying within a tight range of 11:20 to 11:44 min/mile. Particularly notable is her consistent division placement, holding steady mainly in the mid-80s, with a peak at position 71 during mile 9, indicating a tactical push at that point. In the latter stages, Erin experienced a gradual slowdown, with splits reaching up to 15:03 min/mile at mile 20. Nonetheless, she recovered commendably, finishing the marathon with a solid 12:02 min/mile pace in the final mile. Erin's finishing time of 5:24:00 resulted in her placing 1346th overall, 538th among females, and 86th in her F30-34 age division. Notably, her performance improved notably after mile 16 regarding placement, suggesting resilience as the race progressed. Keeping more consistent split times throughout could lead to further improvements.
