Consistent Early Pace, Challenges in Later Stages Jasmin Lavoie maintained a strong and consistent pace in the early phases of the race, keeping a steady 7:48 min/mile from the start up to the third mile. From mile 5, Jasmin started to gradually improve pace, reaching an excellent 7:25 min/mile by mile 9. This consistent pace is reflective of good race strategy up to this point, resulting in a climb in positioning, especially noticeable by mile 6 where he broke into the top 250 overall. From miles 15 through 26, the pace shifted as the splits slowed, with a significant pace drop to 9:05 min/mile at mile 23. The overall finish time was 3:26:13, with an average pace of 7:52 min/mile. A key area to focus on is managing energy to maintain speed in the later stages. Improving endurance throughout the back half could translate to a more even distribution of effort across all 26.2 miles.
