Steady Pacing and Controlled Finish in Half Marathon Christian Harmer maintained a consistent pace throughout the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon, completing the race with an elapsed time of 2:45:34 and an average pace of 12:38 min/mile. Starting strong, Christian completed the first mile in 10:51 min/mile, demonstrating early energy with later splits showing variations, particularly the 17:20 min/mile pace at mile 6. This contributed to fluctuations in placements, but Christian successfully managed to maintain a performance within the mid-field, finishing 137th in his division (M35-39) out of 167. A robust finish characterized the latter half, with Christian accelerating at mile 7 down from 12:48 min/mile to 11:05 min/mile, which is noteworthy for enduring energy management. Maintaining an uplifted pace through the second half with consistent mile times around the 12-minute mark offered a promising finish. For further improvement, focusing on pace consistency across all splits could lead to even more efficient race times.
