Consistent Effort with Strategic Pacing Jessica maintained a steady performance in her 7.02-mile race, particularly impressing in the latter half. Starting at an 18:23 min/mile pace, she managed to drop her pace to 17:25 min/mile by the fourth mile, which was her fastest segment. This resulted in an improvement in her division placement from 152 to 130. By gradually increasing her speed, especially noticeable between the third and fourth miles, she demonstrated strategic pacing, although a slight slowdown was observed thereafter. Her overall time of 2:02:40 reflected a consistency with the average pace of 17:28 min/mile. While finishing 150th in her division, she's showcased potential in managing race dynamics. Consider focusing on maintaining the momentum from midpoint splits in future races for even better results. Your strategy of conserving energy early and quickening in the later miles seemed effective; continuing to fine-tune this approach could yield enhanced performances moving forward.
