Date: Feb. 14, 2026 Participant: Julie Garrison #18523 Race: 2026 Mesa 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Effort with Mid-Race Challenges Julie Garrison completed the 2026 Mesa Marathon 10K with a total time of 1:24:12 and an average pace of 13:34 min/mile. She began the race with solid splits, recording a 12:13 min/mile pace for her first mile. Julie ranked 25th in her division, F55-59, for both the first and third mile, suggesting she managed a consistent effort early on. However, her pace slowed in the fourth mile to 15:42 min/mile, leading to a drop in both overall and division standings. Improvement could be focused on maintaining consistent pacing throughout mid-race miles, where her splits slowed somewhat. By working on endurance and pacing in training, sustaining her early race effort may become more successful. As a member of Team Amanda, Julie could benefit from team-based workouts to elevate her performance further. Notably, she ranked 51st in her division out of 2851 participants, indicating a strong overall effort.
