Consistent Performance with Strategic Mid-Race Surge MyrLynn Anderson exhibited a strategically paced performance at the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood half marathon. Maintaining an average pace of 8:01 min/mile, she finished with a total time of 1:45:01. Notably, her mid-race splits demonstrated progress, improving from an initial 8:33 min/mile in the first mile to a quicker 7:52 min/mile by mile eight. This pace adjustment contributed to her finishing 14th in the F45-49 division out of 3,972 total participants. Her consistent speed in the second half showed her endurance, holding each mile under the 8-minute mark from mile four onwards, except for a slight drop in the last few miles.
