The pacing remained consistent for the next mile, accelerating slightly to 8:41 min/mile. However, from mile three onwards, the pace began to slow. By mile six, the pace slowed to 11:09 min/mile, suggesting fatigue or strategy adjustments. Throughout the latter part of the race, Sloan's pace continued to decelerate, reaching 17:41 min/mile by mile 20. Overall, Sloan completed the marathon with an average pace of 14:51 min/mile, finishing with a total time of 6:29:12. Consider focusing on pacing consistency for future races. While the initial speed demonstrates Sloan's capability, adopting a more uniform approach could prevent significant slowdowns in the later stages. Keep the strong start, but maintain an even pace throughout.
