Consistent Strategy Yields Improvement Kiran Bahuguna demonstrated consistency and slight improvement during the 2025 Mesa Marathon 10K race. Her performance showcased a steady pace, with an overall elapsed time of 1:25:32 and an average pace of 13:47 min/mile. A notable aspect of Kiran's race was her ability to maintain a consistent pace throughout the course, as displayed in her split times. While her splits showed a gradual pace increase, she effectively managed her effort, finishing strong with a split time for the final mile of 13:42. In comparison to a previous 10K at the 2024 Mesa Marathon, Kiran improved both her overall finish time and her pace, cutting down 23 seconds. Despite experiencing varied pacing throughout, especially around mile three and four, her ability to recover demonstrates resilience. There is potential to refine pacing strategy further, particularly mid-race, where slight increases in split time were observed. Overall, Kiran's performance indicates positive progress and determination.
