Starting with a 10:59 min/mile pace, she improved steadily, reaching a 9:51 min/mile pace by mile 7. Her fastest split occurred between miles 4 and 5, where she clocked a commendable 8:39 min/mile. Such mid-race momentum is notable, demonstrating her ability to maintain and even pick up the pace as the race progressed. Amanda finished the marathon in 4:20:27, averaging a 9:56 min/mile pace overall. In the Female 40-44 division, she improved her ranking, finishing 147th out of 2690 participants.
