Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Jennifer Stagnoli #2256 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Start, Consistent Middle, Adjusted Finish Jennifer started the marathon strong with her first mile at a 7:03 pace, which is notably faster than her overall average pace of 8:30 min/mile. Early on, she displayed impressive speed, placing 4th in her age division at the 1-mile marker. Throughout the race, her pacing was mostly consistent, with most miles ranging between 7:30 and 8:00 min/mile. This consistency helped her maintain a competitive position in the female 45-49 age category, hovering around 6th to 9th position. In the later phases of the race, notably post-mile 21, Jennifer's pace slowed, with miles ranging over 9:00 min/mile. It's important to focus on maintaining a rhythm in those challenging final miles to conserve energy and sustain performance. Despite these pace changes, she finished 9th in her division and within the top quarter of all participants. Maintaining consistent pace management in later stages could be an area for development.
