She was definitely swinging for the fences here. She really wanted that OTQ. Brutal positive split shows she isn't quite there yet.
I bet she gets low 2:40 or maybe even 2:39 if she ran a more conservative race in line with her fitness.
This is outstanding for someone relatively new to running. If she stays healthy she'll get her OTQ before long. She's very close.
Her fist marathon. She can take 10 minutes off that over the next few years. We will see her at the trials.
