Steady Start with Opportunities for Pacing Adjustments Jessica maintained a consistent pace in the initial miles of the 6.2-mile race, clocking 11:34 for the first two miles, which were her fastest. Her performance showed significant fluctuation in pacing, with the third mile slowing to 13:51. Nevertheless, there was noticeable improvement in her standing across the fourth and fifth miles, moving from 74th to 36th in her division. In the final mile, Jessica ended with a total time of 1:19:09 and an average pace of 12:46 min/mile. While her final placements were 87th in her division and 677th among women, it was the split variations where key observations were made. She might consider experimenting with maintaining an even pace or strategically pacing throughout the race to address the slower split times. Great job on completing the race, and keep focusing on the pacing strategy for future events!
