Date: March 28, 2026 Participant: Bryan Pang #3567 Race: 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles Weather: Unseasonably warm. Nice running temperatures at the start.

Steady Start with a Notable Discrepancy in Late Race Performance Bryan began the 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon with consistent pacing, covering the first two miles at 9:18 min/mile. Impressively, he managed to reduce his pace to 8:57 min/mile by mile 3, maintaining a strong effort up to mile 14 with minimal fluctuations, dropping his pace to as fast as 8:06 min/mile by mile 10. By mile 15, Bryan had improved his placement, climbing from 430th to 356th male by keeping an improved overall pace. However, a significant slowdown occurred from mile 22 onwards, with the pace dipping to 10:48 min/mile and ultimately reaching 16:21 min/mile by mile 26. Despite this late race deceleration, Bryan's performance is commendable, although pacing maintenance in the final miles could be optimized in future races. Comparing with previous years, 2026 observed a decrease in overall speed, resulting in a finish time of 4:15:43, leaving room for calibrating endurance and pace strategy.
