Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Jon Talbot #5771 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Start, Slowing Finish Jon Talbot maintained a steady start to the race with his initial three miles reflecting an average pace close to 9:35 min/mile. Notably, his fastest split was the fourth mile, clocked at 8:51 min/mile, demonstrating his potential for speed early on. It’s commendable that he successfully retained an overall place among the top half of runners for much of the race. As the race progressed, a gradual slowing trend emerged from mile five onwards, eventually reaching a split pace of 17:03 min/mile during the thirteenth mile. Although his overall place was 2845 out of 3972 participants, the data highlights a loss of pace consistency, particularly towards the end. Focusing on maintaining later mile paces closer to the earlier splits could benefit future races. Consider strategic pacing adjustments in the second half to maintain an even pace throughout.
