Consistent Performance with a Strong Start Cheri completed the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon in 2:09:27, maintaining an overall pace of 9:52 min/mile. Notably, she showed a strong start with split times consistently under 9:18 min/mile for the first five miles, highlighting her initial momentum. Her fastest split was between miles 4 and 5, clocking an 8:35 min/mile pace. Despite a slowdown from mile 6 onward, which included a 13:44 min/mile split at mile 7, Cheri finished in the top half of her division F45-49. For future races, focusing on maintaining the early pace in the latter half could enhance overall performance. Consider specific training on sustaining speed after the midpoint of the race. In previous years, Cheri achieved slightly faster paces in the REVEL Big Cottonwood series, showcasing potential to return to earlier faster paces with fine-tuned training. Keep building on those consistent efforts, Cheri!
