Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Brynne Dalton completed the 2026 Mesa Marathon Half Marathon with a time of 2:14:37, maintaining an overall pace of 10:16 min/mile. Noteworthy is Brynne's ability to maintain consistent pacing, with her splits mostly hovering around the 10:10 min/mile mark. She started strong with a 10:01 min/mile pace on the first mile and managed to keep each subsequent mile close to this benchmark, minimizing variability across the race. An impressive highlight was her capacity to finish stronger than she started, clocking a swift 9:25 min/mile on the final mile.
