Date: Feb. 14, 2026 Participant: Jodie Wagner #17541 Race: 2026 Mesa Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Start, Followed by a Slower Finish Jodie Wagner completed the 2026 Mesa Marathon with a time of 2:52:12, maintaining a steady pace for the first half of the race. Her initial mile was her best at 11:52, placing her 1135th overall, 552nd among females, and 91st in her division F30-34. The first three miles showed consistency with split paces averaging around 12:04-12:08 min/mile. Jodie's pace began to slow significantly after the halfway mark, particularly evident in miles seven, ten, and twelve, with split times exceeding 14 minutes. Jodies overall performance saw her finishing 3378th out of 4125 participants, 1740th among females, and 291st in her division. She started strong, maintaining an even pace for the initial segments. However, as the race progressed, the increase in her split times suggests a need to focus on endurance training, especially for the latter parts of the race. Improving endurance will help maintain that strong start and close the gap in consistency.
