Consistent Start But Room for Steady Finish Carrie Stock demonstrated consistent pacing start in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon. Her early splits showcased a steady start, remaining around a 10-minute mile pace up until the halfway mark. Notably, her 7th and 8th miles reflected a brief return to sub-10-minute pacing, with mile splits at 9:58 and 9:46 respectively. This consistent effort carved a solid position in the first half, with an overall place around 952-954 and division rank between 35-41 in the F45-49 category. As the race progressed, the latter miles presented increasing challenges with pace deceleration, peaking at a 17:34 pace during mile 25. Despite these slower splits, she maintained determination and completed the marathon with an overall time of 5:10:31. For future races, focusing on maintaining a consistent pace in the latter half could prove beneficial, possibly helping to enhance her ranking in both overall and gender-specific categories. Great job maintaining a steady pace from the start, Carrie!
