Strong Mid-Race Push, Late-Race Consistency for Steady Performance Rowyn demonstrated a varied pacing strategy in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon, with significant mid-race improvements. Notable was the shift at Mile 4, achieving a 7:20 pace, a stark improvement compared to the previous miles. This effort might have contributed positively to overall positioning, where Rowyn climbed from 1868 overall to 1592 by Mile 5. The initial challenge was clear, but there was successful navigation of the early race congestion. In the latter part of the race, pacing stabilized, averaging around a 9-minute mile between Miles 5 and 8. Although the pace tapered at Mile 9 and beyond, Rowyn maintained determination, managing a steady finish time of 2:07:57 for the 13.1-mile course. Considering age and division category, Rowyn concluded in 189th place, which is commendable. For future races, focusing on sustaining mid-race gains could improve consistency across all splits. Keep this competitive spirit and continue refining those middle-mile splits!
