Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Audrey Platts #5194 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Slower Pace in Second Half Encountered Audrey Platts from Provo, UT, participated in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon, finishing with a time of 3:08:30 and an average pace of 14:23 min/mile. Her initial split was notable at 10:42 min/mile for the first mile, which positioned her 1476th out of 3972 women, demonstrating a strong start. However, her pace varied significantly across the race, eventually settling around the 14:00-14:30 min/mile mark in the later stages. Audrey’s pace slowed substantially after mile 1, with the 6th mile being the most challenging, clocking in at an 18:24 min/mile split. Compared to her previous performance in 2024, where she completed in 2:33:29, there is potential for focusing on maintaining a steadier pace throughout the race. Greater consistency could help recapture the level seen prior and enhance her finish time in future events.
