Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Dan King #1715 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Effort, Steady Strides Dan King, age 37 from Colorado Springs, participated in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon. Dan maintained a consistent pace throughout the race, finishing with a total time of 6:02:15, translating to an average pace of 13:49 min/mile. His pace showed a gradual increase, opening the race with a split pace of 9:01 min/mile on the first mile before stabilizing in the 13 to 16 min/mile range. Dan secured 44th place in his M35-39 age division, logging a notable performance during the 18th mile where he reached a division lead. This particular mile was completed at an impressive pace of 13:59 min/mile, ranking him first in his division. While his overall positions showed fluctuations, maintaining a sustained effort through to mile 26 is commendable. As a coach, I'd suggest Dan work on pacing strategies in the later miles to maintain momentum as fatigue sets in.
