Consistency with Slight Lapses in Final Stages William Norris displayed a strong and consistent performance in the marathon, maintaining a steady pace throughout most of the race. His average pace was approximately 8:28 min/mile, highlighting strong pacing, particularly between miles 1-20 where he consistently stayed around 8:15-8:20 min/mile. Notably, mile 9 was his fastest at a pace of 8:04 min/mile, showcasing his capability to push when needed. Towards the final stages, specifically miles 21 through 25, there was a noticeable slowdown, with split times increasing to 8:54, 8:47, and 9:12 min/mile, concluding with a 9:43 min/mile for mile 25. This suggests a slight fatigue or strategic miscalculation that might be improved with more consistent late-stage pacing strategies. Overall, the completion time was 3:42:04, and he finished 476th out of 1834 participants. William has demonstrated a solid foundation with room to tighten endurance for sustaining pace in the later miles.
