Consistent Start, Gradual Decline Meghan maintained a steady pace for the first half of the race, showing strong consistency with an average pace of 8:29 min/mile through the first 2 miles. Her strongest segment was between miles 4 and 5, where she improved her pace to 8:27 min/mile, climbing to 9th place in her division at that point. This strong early effort led to a well-positioned overall placement of 245th. As the marathon progressed, Meghan's pace slowed slightly, with her slowest split occurring between miles 22 and 23 at 11:25 min/mile, placing her 29th in her division.
