Date: November 8, 2025 Participant: Sara Hodges #1819 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pacing Yields Reliable Finish Sara Hodges completed the 2025 REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon in a time of 2:10:41, pacing at 9:58 minutes per mile. Throughout the race, her performance remained consistent with her historical records. A strong start was observed with the first two miles pacing just over 8 minutes per mile. However, as the race progressed, her splits gradually decelerated, with the slowest mile at 11:43. Her final placement was 1094th among 1808 participants, and she ranked 468th for female participants and 72nd in her age division. Comparing to previous half marathons, Sara slightly improved from her 2023 finish but ran a bit slower than in 2024. Notably, she improved her placement within her division from last year's event. To further enhance race performance, she might consider focusing on maintaining her early pace in the later stages to avoid a slower finish. Strengthening endurance could help sustain speed over longer distances.
