Over the 26.2 miles, she maintained an impressive average pace of 8:30 minutes per mile, reflecting steady energy distribution throughout the race. One notable highlight was her performance from miles 13 to 15, where she managed to slightly quicken her pace, moving from 8:33 to 8:29 minutes per mile. This strategic pacing helped her gradually improve her position, climbing from 625th in gender placement during the early miles to finishing 470th out of all female participants. While starting with a slower first mile at 9:29, Leeyah demonstrated effective pacing as she efficiently brought her average pace down. Her strongest splits occurred between the 16th and 21st miles, consistently staying under 8:30. In her division, Female 50-54, she ranked 45th out of 46, indicating a steady competition within her age group. For future endeavors, minor adjustments could be directed towards maintaining the late-stage speed observed in earlier splits.
