Date: Feb. 14, 2026 Participant: Jacob Morrison #16457 Race: 2026 Mesa Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pacing with Strategic Adjustments Jacob Morrison participated in the 2026 Mesa Marathon's Half Marathon event with an overall time of 1:53:49, achieving an average pace of 8:41 min/mile. Notably, Jacob maintained relatively consistent splits throughout the race, with his most rapid mile at 8:24. This efficiency is impressive given the adjustments he made mid-race, particularly picking up speed in the fourth mile after a slightly slower pace in miles two and three. During the later stages, specifically after the ninth mile, the split times fluctuated slightly, peaking at a 9:05 minute pace in the twelfth mile. Jacob's performance improved notably in the final mile(s) as he finished 936th overall in the very last split, indicating a strong close. Emphasizing consistent pacing in the latter part of the race could enhance performance. Nevertheless, his ability to adapt and remain steady demonstrates advanced pacing skills.
