Date: March 28, 2026 Participant: Bella De La Paz #1378 Race: 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles Weather: Unseasonably warm. Nice running temperatures at the start.

Steady Start, Challenging Finish Bella De La Paz started her race strong, maintaining an impressive pace. Her initial split was a consistent 8:20 min/mile, and by the 4-mile mark, she had steadily improved her performance with a pace of 7:50 min/mile. Her placement in the early stage of the race improved impressively, moving her up from 310th to 262nd place overall. She demonstrated strong pacing in the first half, consistently advancing her position among the participants. As the race progressed, Bella faced some challenges in the latter parts. Pacing slowed from the 9th mile onward, with her pace dropping to 10:41 min/mile at the 12-mile mark. This deceleration resulted in her overall time of 1:53:27, slower than her previous half marathon best of 1:45:21. Consistency in the early phases was advantageous, but maintaining that speed or managing fatigue towards the end would be beneficial for future races. Keep building on that solid starting momentum!
