Consistent Performance with Strategic Pacing Maria Morales from Henderson, NV, completed the 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon with a commendable time of 3:41:46, averaging an 8:27 min/mile pace over the 26.2-mile course. Key observations include a strong start with her fastest split in mile 3 at 7:44 min/mile, marking her strategic pacing early in the race. She maintained her position well, ending up 12th in her division (F30-34) and 105th in her gender category out of 1,398 participants. Maria's splits reveal opportunities for refining endurance as mile 24 posed a challenge with a 9:07-minute pace. However, she effectively regained consistency, particularly mid-race from miles 7 to 13, consistently clocking around 8:10 min/mile. Her placement improved towards the end, with significant gains in overall standing during the final few miles and in her division. Encouraging evenly distributed pacing and a strong effort in the latter half could augment future performances. Great effort, Maria!
