Consistency in the Midst of a Competitive Field Mandy Wassmuth maintained a steady pace throughout the 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Half Marathon, finishing with an elapsed time of 1:50:22. Her initial strong start was marked by a consistent pace, beginning at 7:24 min/mile and maintaining sub-8-minute miles through the midway mark. The 4th mile was notably her fastest, clocking in at a 7:12 min/mile pace. While the latter half of the race saw a gradual slowdown, Mandy demonstrated impressive endurance, ultimately averaging an 8:25 min/mile pace. Despite a slower overall race compared to her 2025 performance (1:40:54), Mandy's strong effort secured her the 12th position in her age group. A notable strategy shift occurred between miles 11 and 12, as her pace increased notably from 9:28 to 8:02 min/mile, suggesting a focus on regaining momentum. For future races, focusing on maintaining that early pace through the final stretch could potentially yield stronger results. Bravo to Mandy on representing Red Rock Running Company proudly!
