Consistent Pace with Opportunities for Strategic Gains Felix Tang maintained a solid and consistent performance throughout the 2025 Mesa Marathon Half Marathon. His overall running pace was impressive, clocking an elapsed time of 1:25:48 for the 13.1 miles, with an average pace of 6:33 min/mile. Notably, Felix began strongly with an initial 6:30 min/mile pace and improved to a swift pace of 6:25 min/mile by the sixth mile. His most consistent performance was demonstrated in the final stretches, with mile splits ranging from 6:21 to 6:56 min/mile across the last seven miles. While Felix placed 18th in his division (M35-39), the data suggests potential enhancements in mid-race strategy. Though he began well, a slight decline was observed in his pace around miles 7 to 10, with paces slightly above his average. Focusing on maintaining the initial momentum or strategically planning for mid-race difficulties might contribute to improved pacing and rankings in future races.
