Consistent Control and Division Leader in Half Marathon Jen Francis delivered a commendable performance at the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Half Marathon, clocking an overall time of 1:35:54 and achieving an average pace of 7:19 min/mile. Notably, she excelled in her age division, placing 2nd in the F50-54 category. Starting strongly with a 7:09 min/mile pace for the first mile, Jen maintained her edge, recording all splits impressively below 7:45 min/mile. Jen’s standout moment was a swift 6th to 8th mile stretch, where her split times ranged from 6:44 to 6:58 min/mile, allowing her to sustain her position among other female competitors. While she experienced a slight decrease in pace towards the end, her previous marathon experience supports her resilience and pacing ability. For future races, focusing on maintaining top-end pace throughout could enhance her position, but overall, great job leading her division.
