Steady Progression Amidst Competition Erin maintained a steady progression throughout the 2026 Mesa Marathon, completing the half marathon in 3:49:46 with an average pace of 17:32 min/mile. Notably, Erin started strong, securing a division placement of 116 by the first mile. The transition between the 1st and 2nd mile showed a shift in pace from 15:58 min/mile to 16:23 min/mile, coinciding with her moving to 287th place in her division. The middle segment of the race saw Erin's pace slightly slowing, especially between miles 6 and 7 and miles 9 and 10, with pace settling around 17:50 min/mile. She maintained consistent pacing in the latter half, finishing in the top half of female competitors.

Keep refining your rhythm and technique with each race.
