Steady Performance with Notable Consistency Alice Smith competed in the 2025 Mesa Marathon Half Marathon, completing the race in 2:21:38 with an average pace of 10:48 min/mile. Her performance shows steady pacing from start to finish, with her best split pace being 9:39 min/mile between miles 2 and 3. Notably, she recorded consistent split performances in the first half, maintaining times between 9:39 and 10:32 min/mile. In her division (F45-49), Alice placed 116th out of many competitors, while being a part of 3859 total participants in the event. Her pace showed an increase from mile 7 but picked up towards the end, with a final split pace of 10:08 min/mile. Previous performances indicate potential for improvement given her 2024 race time of 2:11:27, suggesting that focusing on mid-race pacing could be beneficial in future competitions. Analyzing pacing during mile 9, where her split was slower, could help in better understanding where to maintain momentum.
