Consistent Performance with Strategic Variability Lisa Barta, representing Red Rock Running Company in the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Half Marathon, demonstrated consistent pace management across her splits. She completed the 13.1-mile race with an elapsed time of 1:49:08, averaging an 8:19 min/mile pace. Lisa started strong with her first three miles under an 8:00 min/mile pace, specifically achieving a noteworthy 7:51 min/mile in her fifth mile, marking her fastest split. This consistent approach helped her maintain competitive placement in her F40-44 division. As the race progressed, Lisa adjusted her pace, particularly in miles six through thirteen, where her pace fluctuated slightly above 8:00 min/mile. Despite a deceleration, she managed to mitigate any potential impact on her overall time. Ending with a final placement of 33rd in her division, focusing on maintaining the speed in later miles could further optimize her pacing strategy. Solidifying the fast early miles without marked slowdown in the latter could enhance future performance.
