Consistent Start, Opportunities for Late Race Refinement Andre Reyes started the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon with impressive pacing, clocking a 9:24 min/mile in the first mile. Notably, his third mile showed exceptional improvement with an 8:39 min/mile split, his fastest of the race. This early race performance demonstrates strong potential for maintaining early speed. Through the first four miles, Andre was consistently strong; however, during the fifth mile, his split pace slowed to 11:41 min/mile. The later stages of the race presented areas for careful evaluation. From mile nine onwards, the splits consistently crept above 11:00 min/mile, peaking at 15:44 at mile 12. While Andre successfully completed the course with an overall time of 2:29:34, future efforts might benefit from focusing on maintaining pace in the middle miles and strategizing late-race energy conservation. Ending strong could significantly improve both personal satisfaction and race results.
