Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Emmeline Wilkey #6090 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Effort with Steady Challenges Emmeline Wilkey completed the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon in 2:03:40, maintaining an average pace of 9:26 per mile. Her pacing strategy was evident in her consistent splits, especially in the first half, with an initial mile time of 8:48. Her pace slightly increased during the race, with splits ranging from 8:48 to 9:33, while mile 11 recorded her slowest split at 11:27. This is an area where she can focus on maintaining speed in the final miles. Compared to her previous races, Emmeline faced more competitors in her division, moving to the F35-39 category and placing 103rd. Her steadiness is commendable, but there's potential to regain her previous speed, evidenced by her 2023 half marathon pace of 8:08 per mile. As part of the "I'll do it if you do it!" team, returning to strategic training focusing on endurance and a consistent pace in the latter stages of the race could enhance her future performances.
