Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Edward Lee demonstrated consistent pacing in the early stages of his marathon, maintaining a steady pace around the 10:26 min/mile mark for the initial two miles. The pace picked up at crucial junctures, showing improvement at mile 4 with a split pace of 9:40 min/mile. His performance was notably solid midway through, where he delivered splits hovering just below 10:10 min/mile from mile 5 to mile 8. This consistency allowed him to secure a position of 504th in the male category at mile 9 with an elapsed pace of 10:05 min/mile. During the latter miles, from mile 21 onwards, there was a noticeable decline in pacing where the final few miles averaged closer to 12 min/mile. These latter stages impacted his overall time, culminating in a finish of 4:38:07 for the 26.2-mile course. Encouragingly, he'd benefit from strategies focusing on maintaining endurance from mile 21 onwards, given the increase in split time seen in that segment.
