With an overall finish time of 4:43:17 and an average pace of 10:48 per mile, she participated in a highly competitive field of 1834 runners, achieving 410th position among female participants and 36th in her division of F35-39. Notably, her strongest sections were around the mid-race mark, with splits like mile 5 at 10:07 and mile 6 also at 10:07, indicating steady energy and pacing. Though her pace saw some decline in the latter stages, particularly at mile 20 with a split of 12:49 per mile, she efficiently regained momentum to complete the final mile in 10:24.
