Consistent Splits, Steady Finish Chelsea Hedderman's performance in the 2025 Mesa Marathon was marked by consistency, with a final time of 4:33:24 for the 26.2-mile course. Representing Sole Sports, she maintained a steady overall pace of 10:26 minutes per mile. Chelsea remained focused from start to finish, a quality evident in her split times; several splits were notably close to her average pace, such as splits at distances 6 (10:18 min/mile) and 10 (9:59 min/mile). A standout split occurred at mile 17 with her fastest split pace of 9:09 min/mile. Ending in 746th place among female participants and 118th in her division (F25-29) indicates a solid middle-pack performance. For future races, she may consider strategies to maintain a steadier pace in the latter miles, as the splits from mile 21 onwards slightly slowed her overall pace. Great effort and determination were shown throughout the marathon.
