Consistent Effort with Notable Recoveries Paul Mccoy from Denver showed determination in his marathon performance, clocking a total time of 4:17:37 with an overall pace of 9:49 min/mile. Starting strong with a sub-9-minute mile, Paul maintained a consistent effort despite larger fluctuations in pace between miles 2 and 13, particularly at mile 3 where the pace temporarily decreased to 26:39 min/mile. It's commendable how he rebounded, steadily improving his pace back to sub-10-minute miles after mile 13. The latter half of the race demonstrated a renewed steadiness, with most miles under the 10-minute pace. Notably, his splits from mile 24 onwards highlighted a determined finish, as he registered negative splits in the final miles compared to earlier averages. Ending 727th overall, and 70th in his division, suggests room to fine-tune pacing strategy. Focusing on maintaining a steady pace through all segments could yield even stronger results in future races. Excellent resilience demonstrated throughout.
