Second Female Finish with Fast Starts and a Late-Lap Rally 22.01 miles in 8:56:38 (24:22/mile). Ten ascents completed; climb time 7:17:15, gondola/transition 1:39:23. 2nd Female and 2nd Solo Female; 15th overall (238). Led Female through Lap 7; settled into 2nd from Lap 8 to the finish. Splits: Lap 1-4 average 34:12 (fastest 33:03), Lap 5-7 average 42:13, Lap 8-10 average 57:56. Largest slowdown on Lap 9 (62:48), followed by a strong rally on Lap 10 (51:21, 11:27 faster than Lap 9). Coaching notes: ease early effort slightly to preserve late-lap output, target steadier mid-to-high 30-minute climbs through Lap 6-7, and streamline gondola turnarounds by 1-2 minutes each to bank 10-20 minutes.
