Consistent Performance with a Strong Start Kaitlyn started her marathon with consistent pacing, maintaining a steady pace of around 8:21 to 8:30 min/mile for the first 10 miles. Notably, her fastest split, 8:09 min/mile, was recorded at mile 10, leading to an elapsed time of 1:24:22 at that point. Her performance remained fairly consistent within her division, with places ranging between 17th and 19th until the 20-mile mark. Towards the latter stage, around mile 20, Kaitlyn's pace decreased, with splits extending up to 12:15 min/mile. This led to an overall finish in her division at 32nd place. Her final time was 4:03:09, reflecting an overall pace of 9:16 min/mile. Kaitlyns improved pace compared to her previous half marathon at the 2023 Boulderthon Half Marathon, where her pace was 10:51 min/mile, shows progressive enhancement in her performance. Consider focusing on maintaining pacing in later miles for future races.
