Consistent Pacing Leads to Strong Finish Stephen Grimmett, 49, from Topeka, Kansas, demonstrated notable pacing with an overall marathon time of 3:57:14, averaging a pace of 9:03 min/mile. Stephen consistently held his pace in the top ranks for his age division, finishing 6th among M40-49 participants. Notably, he achieved his fastest split time of 8:05 min/mile in mile 7, showing strength in the latter part of the race, which contributed positively to his overall performance. Throughout the 26.2 miles, Stephen showed endurance and strategic speed, highlighted by his accelerating splits from mile 9 to 13, where he improved positioning. While the pace varied slightly, maintaining a steady effort is commended. In future races, smoothing out the longer split times, such as the 11:04 in mile 21 and the earlier 10:18 in mile 16, could enhance overall time, as these variations suggest areas for further refinement.
