Steady Start, Strong Finish: Pacing Dynamics in 2025 Marathon Julia Nettleton, from Kaysville, UT, tackled the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon with precision, running as part of Team GolgiQuad$. She completed the 26.2 miles with a total time of 5:21:43. Noteworthy is her consistency in pacing, maintaining most of the early miles around the 10:40-10:48 min/mile mark. However, between miles 21 and 23, the pace saw a notable slowdown, reaching a 15:40 min/mile pace for two consecutive miles. Despite this, nearing the finish, there was a slight uptick in the split pace. A closer look at the race data indicates areas for potential pacing improvement, as evidenced by the splits varying significantly in the latter half. Post-mile 19, the splits suggest fatigue management and consistency could enhance future performance. Julia's participation, finishing 142nd in her age division (F19-24) among 519 female competitors, demonstrates resilience and sets a strong foundation for strategic pacing adjustments in future races.
