Consistent Start, Opportunities for Strategic Finish Kristine Swavey's marathon performance at the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood was marked by a strong start, with her initial split pacing at 8:08 min/mile. She managed to maintain a relatively consistent pace for the first third of the race, with her pace only slightly adjusting to around 8:49 min/mile by the 4th mile. Her overall pacing reduced to 9:00 min/mile by mile 5, indicating a solid start with energy conservation. Notably, she was consistent in her division placement, maintaining a strong presence in the top 35 to 44. In the latter half of the marathon, the pace gradually shifted to 10:46 min/mile between miles 23 to 24, and her final mile logged a pace of 11:04 min/mile. A constructive observation could be focusing more on pacing strategies for endurance in the final miles to better manage race fatigue. Overall, finishing with a time of 4:49:53, Kristine's performance showcased endurance and potential for pacing improvements. Great effort representing Region Runners!
