Date: February 8, 2025 Participant: Christie Cange #10724 Race: 2025 Mesa Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles Weather: Perfect running conditions at 63°F, partly cloudy skies, and a slight breeze from the east in Mesa, AZ.

Consistent Effort with Notable Split Variations Christie Cange participated in the 2025 Mesa Marathon, completing the 26.2 miles with a total time of 5:33:39, achieving an average pace of 12:44 minutes per mile. Representing the 50 States Half Marathon Club, Christie's race featured fluctuations in her splits, with a notable strong pace at mile 7 with a 10:12 split, showing her ability to push through with faster speed despite the marathon's length. While Christie finished 55th in the F55-59 division, 1044th out of the female participants, and 2904th overall out of 3624 total participants, a particular area to focus on could be maintaining consistent pacing in the later stages of the race. As evident in the later miles, her pace slowed, with mile 21 recording a 16-minute split. Working on sustaining speed in those final miles could lead to improved race performance in future marathons.
