She maintained a steady rhythm throughout the race, completing the 13.1-mile course with an overall time of 2:52:36 and an average pace of 13:10 min/mile.

Her fastest mile was mile six at a pace of 11:00 min/mile, which suggests a burst in performance mid-race.

While her endurance showed strongly, refining her form at the later stages might help maintain her pace over consecutive splits beyond mile nine.
