Her early splits were quite steady, showing an initial mile pace of 7:35 and later stabilizing around 8:19 to 9:03 min/mile. She placed 487th overall out of 1393 participants, 203rd in her gender, and 19th in her division (F40-44). Notably, Anna has improved significantly since her 2013 debut in the same event. Her time has consistently decreased from 4:14:57 (pace of 9:43 min/mile) to her personal best of 3:42:37 in 2024.
