Steady Start, Room to Adjust in the Later Splits Reece Mullen had a promising start in the 2025 REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon, initially pacing well at 9:52 min/mile for the first mile. While he began strongly, securing the 80th place in his division at the start, some fluctuations were observed over the course, particularly after mile 4, where split times progressively slowed. Notably, his time at mile 5 showed a dramatic improvement with a very high division placing of 20th, hinting at his strong potential during bursts of speed. Overall, Reece completed the race with an elapsed time of 2:51:03 and an average pace of 13:03 min/mile. He was 89th in his division, M25-29. There is potential for improvement by maintaining consistent pacing as the course progressed. It may be beneficial to incorporate more even-paced strategies in training to sustain energy distribution throughout the race's demanding terrain. Keep building on those early splits, and you're onto something great!
