Consistent Performance and Division Victory Kayleigh Lenhard maintained remarkable consistency throughout her Half Marathon, with an impressive division victory in the F20-29 category. Her split times reveal controlled pacing, starting with an aggressive 5:23 min/mile in the first mile. Although her pace slowed after the first mile, her overall pace remained strong, averaging 6:33 min/mile by the end of the race. Kayleigh maintained her position as top in her division, demonstrating both endurance and speed. A noteworthy aspect of Kayleigh's performance was her ability to hold a steady pace after the initial surge, with most split times falling within a narrow range - between 6:24 and 6:45 min/mile. Despite a slight pace reduction towards the mid-race segments and a challenging final mile at 6:59 min/mile, she completed the race in 1:25:53, placing fifth in her gender category. Future races could benefit from focusing on sustaining speed throughout her strongest segments.
