Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Ashley Edwards #3529 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Pacing Improvement and Strategic Gains Ashley demonstrated a consistent improvement in pacing during the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon. Her overall time of 2:06:44 with an average pace of 9:40 min/mile indicates a strategic effort compared to her previous time of 2:10:02 and pace of 9:55 min/mile from last year's event. Notably, her fastest split occurred between miles four and five with an 8:18 min/mile, signaling a well-managed energy conservation strategy. Ashley should continue focusing on maintaining her faster pace throughout the latter part of the race. The slight increase in split times after mile six suggests there might be an opportunity for strategic adjustments in the mid-race section to prevent fatigue in the final stretch. Despite these later splits, her performance still places her 77th in her division, reflecting positive progress from earlier races. Keep up the dedicated training, Ashley. You've demonstrated significant growth this year!
