Consistent Start, Strong Finish Emma Kelly-Glasoe exhibited consistent pacing in the first half, maintaining a split pace between 11:18 and 11:19 minutes per mile for the first three miles. A commendable surge in Mile 4, clocking a split of 10:57, highlighted Emma's effort to maintain momentum. Despite a slower Mile 6 with an 11:48 split pace, she effectively maintained her performance pace overall. Notably, by Mile 8, Emma improved her placing significantly to 2012 overall and 934 in the gender category. In the final miles, pacing challenges were evident, with splits over 12 minutes per mile, peaking at a 13:48-minute mile in Mile 11. However, her steady approach allowed her to finish in 2:38:13, with an average pace of 12:04 minutes per mile. An area to focus on would be the latter half of the course—aiming for a more even pace could further enhance her performance.
