Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Chaz Taylor #5782 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

A Strong Start with Consistent Splits Chaz Taylor, representing Team Bird, delivered a strong race at the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon. He completed the course with an overall time of 1:36:23, maintaining a steady average pace of 7:21 min/mile. Chaz's pace was commendably consistent, particularly in the early miles, with his fastest mile being the fifth at 6:15 min/mile. This strategic early push kept him in competitive standing within his age group. Notably, Chaz maintained his position well throughout the race, starting in the top 20 of his division early on. At mile six, he was just outside the top 20 in his category, showing a strong mid-race performance. Towards the end, there was a slight increase in split times, particularly miles 11 and 12, where times increased to 8:07 and 9:08 min/mile respectively. Focusing on maintaining the pace of the earlier miles could optimize these finishing splits. Overall, a solid effort with potential improvements on the latter sections.
