Consistent Effort with Strong Mid-Race Performance Dohar Silalahi, a 48-year-old runner from Fort Worth, TX, participated in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon, a 26.2-mile race. His performance showcased consistency, particularly in the early sections, with a well-paced start at a 10:55 min/mile for the first mile. From mile 1 through mile 7, he maintained a steady pace, fluctuating between 11:11 and 12:26 min/mile. Mid-race, from mile 9 onwards, Silalahi demonstrated a notable peak, placing extremely well at mile 19, achieving 1st place in his age division and 1st male overall during that split. However, as the race progressed into the latter miles, the pace increased, with the final stretch averaging around 14:19 min/mile. Given the pacing towards the end, focusing on endurance training could help maintain early-race pace through to the finish. He completed the race in 6:15:23, representing the "yee haw salt runners" team.
