Consistent Pacing Amidst Challenges Erika maintained a consistent pace throughout the REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon with an overall time of 1:58:18, averaging a pace of 9:01 min/mile. Starting strong with an 8:10 min/mile pace in the first mile, she experienced incremental slowdowns, with final splits reaching up to a 10:02 min/mile. Despite this deceleration, she demonstrated endurance, especially between miles 6 and 7, with her pace tightening to 8:21 min/mile at mile 7. Erika placed 821st overall, 310th among women, and 54th in her division (F45-49) within a field of 1,808 runners. Notably, she moved from 744th place overall at mile 10 to finish 821st, reflecting stable race management. To further enhance performance, consider focusing on pacing strategy in the later stages, as evidenced by the slower segments between miles 8 and 13. Consider assessing the causes of the slowdown for strategic adjustments in future races. Great effort representing Fontana and Black Girls Run!
