Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Jason Berkavich #2898 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pacing with Strategic Finishes Jason maintained a steady pace throughout the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon, finishing with an overall time of 1:48:09 and an average pace of 8:15 min/mile. Notably, despite a slower start, he strategically accelerated during the fifth mile, achieving his fastest split at 7:40 min/mile. His consistent pacing positioned him strongly, as seen in his placement improvement from mile 4 to mile 10. A review of split times reveals fluctuations in pace, especially during miles 6 and 7 where pacing slightly dropped, impacting the overall standing. Post these miles, Jason managed to regain momentum, reflected in his stronger placements in the final stretch. This suggests focus could be placed on maintaining mid-race pacing to capitalize on his ability to finish strong. Compared to previous years' races, Jason demonstrated progress in managing splits, yet maintaining peak consistency during mid-race segments could yield even better results.
