Her overall pace settled at 9:30 min/mile, covering 26.2 miles in 4:09:11. Notably, Sandra began with a slower pace in the first mile (10:14 min/mile), yet picked up speed consistently through most of the race, especially between miles 4 to 15 where her pace frequently dipped below 9:00 min/mile. Strong placements in her division, finishing 27th in the F45-49 category, highlight her competitive spirit. Sandra maintained a steady momentum throughout the marathon, with a remarkable negative split from mile 10 to mile 14, showcasing strategic pacing.
