Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Hannah Cooke #1386 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing with Dynamic Mid-Race Surge Hannah maintained a steady pace throughout her marathon, beginning at a strong 7:49 min/mile. Notably, her performance peaked at the 9-mile mark with a split pace of 7:21 min/mile, which suggests a strategic surge. From the midpoint onwards, her pace gradually eased, finishing with an average of 8:19 min/mile. This adjustment is typical as fatigue sets in over a long race. Her finishing time was 3:38:09, which is commendable for this distance. Hannah fluctuated in overall positioning, ranging from 302nd to 426th place by the end of the race. As she competes in the F25-29 division, her best positional standing was 11th at multiple intervals, with her final placement being 22nd in her division. Maintaining a consistent pace while incorporating strategic speed surges will greatly benefit future races. Fine-tuning her endurance can help manage fatigue in later stages for even better outcomes.
