She showed consistent pacing with an early steady pace, highlighted by an impressive faster split at mile 3 with a 10:14 min/mile pace. She ended on a positive note, accelerating to an 11:03 min/mile pace in the final mile. Notably, Pamela managed to climb back in the participant rankings during miles 8 and 11, in the overall category and within her division. Competing as part of the "Black Girls RUN!" team, she placed 180th in the F40-44 division. Pamela's strategic pacing, particularly in the second half, bodes well for future races. Focusing on maintaining acceleration through the end, drawing from earlier mile splits, could enhance the overall outcome.
