Date: Feb. 14, 2026 Participant: BJ Farish #11619 Race: 2026 Mesa Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles
Consistent Early Pace, Late Slowdown BJ Farish started the 2026 Mesa Marathon with a steady pace, averaging 10:11 min/mile in the first two miles. Over the course of the first half, BJ maintained a commendable consistency, with paces fluctuating minimally and mostly hovering around the 10:25 min/mile mark. For the initial 11 miles, placements within the M50-54 division remained within the low 90s to high 80s. However, as the distance increased, BJ's pace became more challenging to maintain. Notable slowdowns were seen after mile 14, with mile splits extending to over 12 minutes per mile and even exceeding 16 minutes towards the marathon's end. Despite these challenges, BJ finished with an elapsed time of 5:45:52, securing a solid mid-field placement in his division at 105th out of the total 3509 participants. Consider focusing on endurance strategies for the latter miles in future races.
