Consistency and Determination Shine Through Splits Kim Knapp's marathon performance displayed commendable consistency and determination. Starting with a strong 9:17 min/mile pace, she kept her pace below 10:00 min/mile for most of the race. Significant consistency came through splits like mile 1 and mile 5, both at paces aligning with her overall strategy. Her rank improved by more than 200 places from mile 1 through mile 4, indicating her initial competitive edge. Though slight slowdowns were observed in the latter stages, particularly at mile 24 with a pace of 13:24 min/mile, Kim finished strong with a time of 4:29:02 and an overall pace of 10:16 min/mile. Despite some fatigue, her ability to regain pace, as shown in mile 19 with a 9:41 min/mile, suggests room for strategic adjustments in latter parts of the race. Overall, finishing 7th in her division is an impressive feat. Focusing on maintaining pacing in the final stretch can elevate future race results.
