Consistent Mid-Race Pace Amid Extended Slowdown Jake maintained a steady pace throughout the majority of the race, with his marathon splits mostly ranging between 9:05 and 9:32 min/mile from miles 1 through 19. A notable highlight includes the 12th mile, covered in 8:31 min and ranked 75th in his division. Between miles 2 and 4, his positions improved to 55th place, reflecting consistent effort early on. In the latter part of the race, slowdown was observed after mile 19, with splits increasing notably to 11:22 min/mile at mile 21. Despite this, Jake's final pace was 9:46 min/mile, bringing him to the finish line with an overall time of 4:15:57. Mid-race efficiency suggests focused improvements in the latter phase could yield significant positive impacts. Overall, a solid representation with room to refine late-race endurance.
