Steady Start with Focus on Consistency Brooklyn York completed the 2025 Mesa Marathon half marathon with a total time of 2:31:22, averaging an 11:33 min/mile pace. The consistent pacing is notable, with her fastest pace at the 9-mile mark, clocking in at 9:31 min/mile. Throughout the race, she maintained a steady speed, evident in her splits transitioning from a 10:25 min/mile in the first mile to 11:44 min/mile by the 13th mile. Her placement was 2590th overall out of 3859 participants and 1296th among female competitors. Within her age division, Female 25-29, she ranked 195th. The progression of split times and pacing indicates areas to fine-tune for future challenges. Targeting the later stage of the race, specifically after mile 7 where a notable slowdown occurred, can be a focus. Incorporating interval training might help develop resilience for maintaining speed in the latter part of a race.
