Consistent Start, Persistent Finish Roseanne Trang from Gresham, OR, maintained admirable consistency in the initial stages of her marathon, with the first three miles averaging a 10:05 min/mile pace. Her early stability is a promising indicator of pacing strategy. Notably, she maintained sub-10-minute miles between miles 4 to 6, demonstrating a strong effort with split paces steady at 9:44 min/mile. In the latter miles, slowing down can be observed with marked increases in split times, peaking at 15:29 min/mile between miles 19 and 20. However, it’s commendable that she managed to regain a steady pace with an impressive last few miles at 9:47 min/mile. Roseanne placed 794th among females and 117th in her division. Consistent pacing at the start is a great foundation—further endurance training could benefit the latter segments to maintain pace. Great perseverance throughout the marathon!
