Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Kara Tweedy #2347 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing with Strategic Finish Leads to Strong Division Placement Kara Tweedy demonstrated pacing consistency and strategic finish in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon, making noticeable strides in the F50-54 division. Over the course of 26.2 miles, her average pace was 10:45 min/mile, culminating in a final time of 4:42:00. A standout moment was at mile 21 where she improved significantly, moving to 4th place in her division for that split and gained in overall position quickly afterwards. Her splits reveal a stable performance across the race, maintaining consistent pace until a notable speed-up and strong recovery from mile 21. To optimize her performance further, Kara might focus on maintaining early speed in the latter part of the race to strengthen her finish. Nevertheless, finishing 19th in her division out of a vast field of competitors is commendable. Training with varied pace strategies could yield even stronger results in future races.
