Steady Start, Strong Middle, and a Slow Finish Dalton Carter, age 29 from Orem, UT, demonstrated impressive pacing in the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon. From the beginning, Dalton maintained a strong pace, especially apparent from Miles 3 to 4, where he clocked splits of 5:35 and 5:41. His peak came during the 7th mile with a blistering 5:30 split pace, reflecting potential for maintaining such speed over a longer distance. Holding steady positions within the top 50 from miles 3 through 14 highlights a strategic race start. In the latter part of the race, Dalton's pace decelerated, most noticeably from mile 23 onwards, with the slowest split of 8:34 at mile 24. Although he finished with an overall pace of 6:35 min/mile, finishing strong in earlier segments could have been maintained. While the final ranking was 143rd overall out of 2690, which is within the top 6%, focusing on endurance training could help manage speed drops in the closing miles, optimizing future performances.
