Impressive Steady Pacing with Mid-Race Gains Anna Morrissey maintained a strong and consistent pace throughout the Vermont City Marathon. Starting with an 11:03 min/mile for the first mile, she improved notably by the second mile with a 10:22 min/mile pace. Her best one-mile split was a swift 9:06 min/mile at mile 9, indicating her potential for mid-race gains where placement improved to 834 overall. In the latter part of the marathon, specifically after mile 13, Anna's pace gradually slowed slightly, reaching 15:36 min/mile at her slowest during mile 25. Despite this, Anna exhibited resilience and finished the marathon in 4:55:52.
