Notably, there were strategic fluctuations in pacing, highlighted by a strong mile at the 12th split with a pace of 7:26 min/mile, contrasting with a more conservative 10:13 min/mile at the 24th split. The consistency paid off, resulting in a completion time of 3:48:21 for the marathon distance of 26.2 miles. Throughout the race, Quinn's overall placement fluctuated, peaking with a 189th overall position at mile 5.
