Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Garrett Jordan began his marathon with impressive early splits, maintaining a steady pace just below 8 minutes per mile. He showed strong performance in the first half, notably increasing speed between miles 5 and 8, culminating in a mile 7 split of 6:53. This momentum showed his capability to push the pace mid-race. In the latter half, Garrett faced some challenges. Despite maintaining a sub-8-minute pace until mile 18, there was a noticeable drop off in speed from mile 19 onwards, with the most significant slowdown at mile 24, recorded at 11:27 for that mile. The slowdown affected his overall pace, ending the marathon with an average pace of 7:58 per mile. Garrett placed 310th overall out of 2712 participants, finishing with a total time of 3:28:52. For future races, maintaining the initial consistent pacing in the later miles could help improve overall time and finish position.
