Consistent Pace with Minor Late Deceleration Alexandra Rose finished the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon in 5:13:23, maintaining an overall pace of 11:57 min/mile over the 26.2-mile course. Notably, her placing improved as the race progressed, particularly around mile 6 where she moved up significantly to 1138th place overall. Her efforts secured her 43rd place in the F35-39 division out of a total of 1834 participants. Throughout the race, Alexandra demonstrated consistent pacing, particularly excelling in the middle sections between miles 5 and 13 where her pace stabilized around the low 11:20-min/mile range. A late-race deceleration was observed around mile 18 when her pace dropped to 16:40 min/mile, followed by minor recovery in later miles.
