Date: Feb. 14, 2026 Participant: Caryn Anson #17941 Race: 2026 Mesa 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Progress with Varied Splits Caryn's performance in the 2026 Mesa Marathon 10K showcases her consistency in pacing, maintaining an overall elapsed pace of 12:04 min/mile. Starting strong, she logged a fastest split pace of 11:30 min/mile between miles 2 and 3, which positioned her 7th in her division at that time. This indicates a strong middle segment before a slight decrease in pace as the race progressed, with her slowest split at 12:45 min/mile. For future races, an opportunity for Caryn to enhance her race strategy could be focusing on maintaining that mid-race speed throughout. Her final division placement was 21st in the F60-64 category. It's noteworthy that compared to her previous 10K in 2019, her recent performance was a bit slower, suggesting a review of training approaches might be beneficial to regain some speed. Nonetheless, participating consistently demonstrates dedication and resilience.
