Consistent Pace with a Few Challenges Max maintained a reasonably consistent pace with room for small improvements. Starting the race strong with a first-mile split of 7:36, subsequent miles showed slight increases in pace, with a notable slowing to a 10:56 pace in mile 7. This was effectively counterbalanced by bouncing back with a speedy 7:20 in mile 8. The final performance yielded an overall time of 1:48:38, a pace of 8:17 min/mile. Although Max finished 839th overall out of 3972 participants and 473rd among males, there’s noticeable consistency compared to last year's performance with a finish time of 1:47:08. While these stats reflect a minor slowdown this year, his strong sections indicate potential. Strategizing around mile 7 could reduce time loss. The team "Horrific Helgas" likely appreciates Max's efforts and beneficial data insights can optimize future race strategies. The broader participation field presents opportunities for improved tiered placements.
