Solid Effort with Consistent Early Pacing Elizabeth maintained a strong and consistent pace throughout the first half of the race, with her average pace staying between 7:46 and 7:59 min/mile from miles 1 through 10. Her placement in her division was notably strong in the early stages, putting her in the top 25 of F25-29 until mile 10. The early pacing strategy was effective, helping to secure a position within the top 100 female runners early on. As the race progressed, her pace gradually eased. From mile 16 onward, Elizabeth's splits ranged between 8:54 and 9:46 min/mile. While this indicated a bit of fatigue setting in, it's impressive that her determination carried her through to the finish line in a respectable time of 3:46:37. A focused effort on maintaining pace consistency in the latter stages may help in future races. Overall, it was a commendable performance in a competitive field of 1,834 participants.
