Steady Pacing with Strong Finish Kaly Rafie showcased impressive consistency in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon, completing the 13.1-mile course with an overall time of 2:07:02 and an average pace of 9:41 min/mile. The constant improvement after the second mile is admirable. Notably, she started with a 9:53 min/mile pace in the first mile and efficiently shaved off time, reaching a split pace of 9:23 min/mile by mile 10. This consistent pacing allowed her to maintain a steady position, finishing 1915th out of 3972 participants. The splits reveal a balanced performance with a particularly strong finish. After an initial pacing of nearly 10 minutes per mile, Kaly's increased speed in the latter miles signifies a well-maintained energy and focus, indicating a good race strategy.
