Consistent Start, Variable Pace Qing Wei completed the 2025 REVEL White Mountains Marathon with a time of 4:24:02, demonstrating a strong and consistent start. The initial three miles each had a precise 8:08 min/mile pace, keeping the same placement in the first phase. However, after the fourth mile, a gradual change in pace was observed, with the following miles averaging an 8:10 to 10:12 min/mile pace, indicating a clear mid-race slowdown. The 10th mile had the slowest split at 14:07 min/mile. While Qing managed to regain some speed towards the last third of the race, notably picking up the pace in miles 12 to 14, finishing this event nonetheless resulted in a slower overall pace than the previous race. With a participation field of 1313, Qing placed 815th overall, 352nd among women, and 59th in the F45-49 division. The consistency in the opening miles is commendable; focusing on sustaining pace across longer distances would enhance future performances.
