Date: Feb. 14, 2026 Participant: Michael Todd #17403 Race: 2026 Mesa Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Improvement and Strong Finish Michael Todd delivered a commendable performance in the 2026 Mesa Marathon Half Marathon. Notably, he improved his pace consistently, finishing the race in 1:36:50 with an average pace of 7:23 min/mile. His effort is reflected in a notable sprint to the finish line, concluding the 13th mile with his fastest pace of 7:02 min/mile. This indicates a well-managed energy distribution throughout the race. From a strategic standpoint, focusing on maintaining or slightly increasing speed from miles 4 to 5 could yield beneficial results. Michael successfully climbed back in placement during the final miles, signaling effective pacing strategy but there's room to capitalize on his potential earlier. Remaining focused on mid-race endurance can provide an edge in future competitions. Overall, consistent pacing showed a well-calculated effort and set the stage for potential personal improvements in upcoming races. Great team representation for The Flock from Sierra Vista, AZ.
