Consistent Pace with Impressive Divisional Finish Lauren McMicking maintained an impressive pace throughout her race, achieving a strong 8:00 min/mile average pace. Her performance in the F35-39 division stood out, securing the 5th place. Lauren's ability to consistently increase her speed is commendable, as demonstrated by her last two miles split times of 7:49 and 7:40, the fastest of her race. Despite encountering some initial variability in overall placements, finishing with a solid 99th place out of 2114 participants overall is a notable achievement. She displayed resilience and skill, particularly during the final miles, where she gained positions and finished 22nd in gender. Focusing on maintaining the early pace set in her first two miles could further enhance her performance. Congratulations to Lauren for representing the Nike Employee Team with such a strong effort.
