Date: Feb. 14, 2026 Participant: Leanne Rodock #16927 Race: 2026 Mesa Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Effort with Opportunities for Pacing Adjustments Leanne began the 2026 Mesa Marathon with a solid pace, completing the first mile in 16:36 minutes and maintaining a steady improvement in her pace through mile 3, with a promising split of 16:07. Her performance in these initial miles shows a capacity for maintaining controlled pacing early in the race. As the race progressed, there was a gradual increase in split times, peaking at 24:58 in the thirteenth mile. While the overall finish time was 4:22:22, the consistent slowing across the final miles suggests a strategic opportunity for Leanne to maintain her early momentum in future races. Focusing on pacing, particularly in the mid to late segments of the race, could enhance her overall finish time. Leanne finished 234th in her division, and she showed resilience throughout the distance. Future training should emphasize sustaining speed and stamina in the latter parts of the race.
