Date: May 4, 2025 Participant: Keith MacDonald #1783 Race: 2025 REVEL White Mountains Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing with Tactical Splits Keith maintained strong pacing throughout the REVEL White Mountains Marathon. With an average pace of 8:32 min/mile, he completed the 26.2-mile course in 3:43:40. Notably, his early miles were consistent, starting with three consecutive miles at 7:52 min/mile. His pacing varied slightly across the race, with a mid-race slowdown but a consistent effort from miles 10 through 26, with each split close to 8:12 min/mile. This steadiness is a key strength. While Keith's overall placement was 451st out of 1313 runners, he showed discipline in his segment performance. A strategic focus on maintaining pace in later miles could enhance endurance for the final stretch. His participation with the Dam Runners team reflects camaraderie and support, both valuable for continued development. Encouragement towards finishing stronger in the last segments, like the steady improvement seen in early miles, could elevate his future races even further. Excellent job, Keith!
