Consistent Performance with Strong Division Placement Richard Rashid, at 73, delivered a steady performance in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon. With a total time of 5:02:11 and an average pace of 11:32 min/mile, he maintained a consistent effort throughout the 26.2 miles. Notably, his fastest split was at mile 1 with a 9:24 min/mile pace, and his 13:44 min/mile pace at miles 24 and 26 indicated some fatigue towards the end. He placed well within the M70-74 division, securing 6th place, showing resilience among his peers. At certain points, particularly around mile 21, his pace slowed down compared to the overall field, yet he bounced back to recover some positions. As a member of the Gravity Groupies, his determination was evident. Richard could focus on maintaining pace consistency in the latter half of the race to further improve his performance. Excellent stats reflect his strong place in the division.
