Starting off with a strong 11:08 min/mile pace in the first mile, there was a noticeable slowdown at the 3-mile mark with a 15:13 min/mile split. Improvement was seen in the latter stages, notably speeding up to a 10:40 min/mile pace in the final mile, indicating a successful push toward the finish. This performance placed her 84th in the F50-54 division, a consistent effort compared to a previous performance where she was 52nd in 2024. Key areas of improvement could focus on maintaining consistent pacing throughout the race, especially around the midpoint where pacing slowed noticeably. Splits in the middle portion of the race showed an increase in time averaging around 11:34 to 12:44 min/mile. Streamlining these middle miles could enhance overall performance. Solid work in maintaining a balanced pace for the finishing miles. Great job, Chau! Keep building on the strong segments!
