Steady Improvement in Final Miles Anthony Barnes participated in the 2026 Mesa Marathon, completing the half marathon in 2:19:32 with an average pace of 10:39 min/mile. Despite his overall place of 2468 out of 4125 participants, he demonstrated a strong push in the later stages of the race. Notably, his split times improved significantly in the final miles, culminating in a 9:08 min/mile split for the 13th mile, his fastest of the event. Over the 13.1 miles, Anthony's placement consistently ranged within the top 80 of his M50-54 division. Compared to previous years, his average pace showed a decline from earlier races. With past performances in mind, particularly the 2018 Mesa Marathon's 9:00 min/mile pace, focusing on maintaining earlier race paces could enhance future outcomes. Continued emphasis on pacing across all splits can lead to more consistent results reflective of his capabilities.
