Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Gatlin Lear showcased impressive consistency through the first half of the 2026 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon. His initial mile split of 7:32 set a strong pace, maintaining this pace through the third mile with slight deviations (+/- 1 second). Gatlin held steady placements in the male category, persistently ranking 146th through the third mile. This discipline reflects a solid rhythm and precise pacing judgment. After mile 3, Gatlin's pace began to vary more significantly, culminating in an overall pace of 8:06 min/mile. The slower splits from mile 4 onwards, with a notable 8:46 min/mile at mile 11 and even slower to a 10:24 min/mile at mile 13, suggest some fatigue in later stages. Despite this, Gatlin finished with a total time of 1:46:13. For future races, focus might be placed on maintaining consistent speed in the latter miles. He finished strong, placing 30th in the M 30-34 division.
