Consistent Effort with Mid-Race Challenge Hailee maintained consistent pace through the initial part of the 10K MindRX Group race, starting with a strong 12:34 min/mile pace for the first two miles. Her steady opening contributed to a solid position within her division, holding 130th place for the F25-29 division. During the mid-section, from mile three to four, her pace dropped noticeably to 15:29 min/mile, which resulted in a shift in overall standings. However, her remarkable resilience is evident as she improved significantly by mile four, ascending to 75th place in her division. In the latter stages of the race, Hailee's pace settled around 13:27 min/mile, maintaining this consistency for miles four and five. Notably, Hailee was able to recover her position, finishing strong with an overall time of 1:24:14. An area to explore for future events is maintaining pace consistency, especially around the mid-race point, to better control position changes in standings.
