Consistent Effort with Late Challenge Nhat Nguyen displayed a consistent performance at the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon. His initial pacing was strong, starting with an 8:35 min/mile pace and maintaining a sub-9:30 min/mile pace through mile 5. Between miles 6 and 13, he oscillated between 8:45 and 10:18 min/mile, demonstrating resilience and maintaining a steady rhythm despite minor fluctuations. The latter portion of the race presented a challenge, particularly after mile 21, where the pacing slowed to above 14:00 min/mile in some splits. Mile 25 marked the slowest pace at 16:12 min/mile. Despite this, Nhat completed the marathon in 4:59:53 with an average pace of 11:26 min/mile. For future races, focusing on maintaining energy and consistency in the final miles may help sustain his earlier momentum. Overall, top performances between miles 1 and 9 show promise that can be sustained over the race.
