Early splits showed a steady pace, with the first 13 miles ranging from 9:22 to 9:56 min/mile, demonstrating a controlled and consistent start. Particularly commendable was the acceleration between miles 6 and 8, evidenced by split times of 9:22 and 9:16, respectively. The overall placement of 1883/3445 indicates mid-pack completion, with placement in the Female division at 569th, and 148th in the F25-29 age group. The pace began to drop after mile 13, with increased split times peaking at 15:53 on mile 21, suggesting potential fatigue or strategic pacing adjustments. Considering previous performance in the 2024 Portland Half Marathon, improving endurance during the latter half of the race could be beneficial. Continue to focus on pacing strategy throughout longer distances in future events.
