Impressive Dedication Despite Slower Pace Thelma Clarkson from Eastvale, CA, completed the 2025 REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon with a time of 2:17:42, resulting in an average pace of 10:30 min/mile. Notably, Thelma started strong, with her fastest split in the third mile at 8:37 min/mile, before consistently maintaining a solid performance throughout the race. The fifth mile was a high point for her, as she achieved remarkable placement in her age division, finishing third. Compared to her performance in the 2019 REVEL Big Bear race, Thelma's recent race time was slightly slower by about two minutes. Despite this, she did make significant progress during certain mile splits. A few splits saw an increase in pace time, particularly during the latter stages of the race. It might be beneficial to focus on strategies for pacing in the later miles to maintain endurance and potentially improve finish times further. Her dedication and commitment as part of the SRTT Eastvale team are commendable.
