Consistent Improvement Through Steady Splits Amanda Galbraith showcased remarkable improvement and consistency at the 2025 Mesa Marathon Half Marathon. Her overall finish time was 1:44:41 with an average pace of 7:59 min/mile. Amanda ranked 689th overall, 255th in her gender category, and 40th in her division (F40-44) among 3859 participants. Compared to the previous year, she maintained a close finish to her 2023 run, though slightly increased her placement as the competition was tougher this year with a higher participant count. In examining her split times closely, Amanda's performance notably fluctuated less after a swift initial mile. She demonstrated great pacing proficiency in several splits, with exceptional performances in miles 2 and 3, posting split paces of 7:24 min/mile and 7:20 min/mile, respectively. Finding ways to maintain the momentum seen in those faster splits through the latter stages could help enhance her overall finish time in future races. Keep up the great work ethic!
