Eddie's Consistent Effort and Strategic Approach Eddie Gutierrez executed a strategic and steady race at the 2025 REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon with an overall elapsed time of 2:42:54, maintaining an average pace of 12:26 min/mile. Starting strong with an 8:53 min/mile pace for his first mile, he experienced gradual deceleration halfway through, with mile eight presenting a noticeable challenge at a 14:12 min/mile pace. His ability to finish strong was marked by a slight pace recovery in the latter miles, especially mile ten, where he clocked in at 12:39 min/mile, showcasing resilience. Compared to previous races at REVEL Big Bear, which saw an elapsed time improvement from 2022 to 2023, followed by a performance dip in 2024, Eddie showed slightly slower splits this year. Positive consistency was observed in his ability to retain pace in certain sections of this half marathon. Focusing on maintaining early paces longer might enhance future race outcomes, especially considering this years competitive field of 1808 participants.
