Consistent Pacing with Potential for Faster Splits Kristi Eustice, a 37-year-old runner from Mesa, AZ, displayed a steady performance across the 2025 Mesa Marathon 10K. Her splits showed slight increases in time throughout, starting with a 12:09 min/mile at the first mile and ending with a 13:10 min/mile at the sixth mile. She maintained a consistent pace overall, finishing the race with an average of 12:42 min/mile. Eustice's final time was 1:18:45, placing her 105th in her division.
