Date: February 8, 2025 Participant: Martin Crawley #23128 Race: 2025 Mesa Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles Weather: Perfect running conditions at 63°F, partly cloudy skies, and a slight breeze from the east in Mesa, AZ.

Consistent Pace But Incremental Improvement Opportunities Martin Crawley from Edmonton participated in the 2025 Mesa Marathon Half Marathon. He completed the 13.1-mile race in 1:47:18 with an average pace of 8:11 min/mile. His pace was fairly consistent, varying slightly across the race but staying within the 8:02 to 8:36 min/mile range. His strongest mile was mile 3 with a pace of 7:37 min/mile. Analyzing his performance, Martin placed 777th overall and 67th in the M35-39 division out of 3859 participants. A comparison with his 2024 performance shows he was slightly slower this year, with an 8:11 min/mile pace compared to 7:58 min/mile last year. Focusing on sustaining early split paces like mile 3's and perhaps targeting marginal improvements in late-race splits like those in miles 11 and 12 could potentially enhance his overall performance in future races. Keep up the dedication, Martin, and continue pushing those boundaries!
