Steady Start with a Determined Finish Thomas Hesch displayed remarkable consistency in his performance during the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon. His splits began with a 9:20 min/mile for the first mile and reached a peak efficiency of 7:39 min/mile at mile 7. Maintaining this strong pace over several miles, he completed the race with a final elapsed time of 4:07:58 and an average pace of 9:27 min/mile. Particularly strong in the early segments, he consistently held a top 2 position in his division up to mile 9, highlighting focused energy in the initial stages. For the latter half, Thomas placed 5th in the M70-74 division, a noteworthy outcome considering the increased competition. His pacing slightly declined in the final miles, with segments between miles 20 and 26 ranging between 10:03 and 11:54 min/mile. The slight drop in pace post the 16th mile might be an area to focus on for enhanced endurance in subsequent races. Excellent effort throughout the marathon, Thomas!
