Consistent Improvement With Strong Mid-Race Pace Sungkun Yoo from La Crescenta, CA, demonstrated a commendable and consistent performance in the 2025 REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon. Starting with a steady pace of 9:15 min/mile for the first mile, Sungkun gradually increased his speed, resulting in significantly faster paces in the latter half. By mile 7, Yoo managed to break the 8-minute barrier, clocking in a fast split time of 7:30 min/mile, ultimately finishing with an overall pace of 8:27 min/mile. Notable improvements were observed mid-race, where Sungkun made impressive progress through the ranks, notably reducing his overall placement from 1094th after the first mile to 592nd by the end of the race. He finished 43rd in the M50-54 division. Yoo's performance displays an effective strategy that could be further refined by exploring even pacing from the start, potentially improving initial placement and average pace further. Congratulations to Sungkun and the Kart team!
