Consistent Early Pace, but Late Slowdown Kassity Tomlinson from Syracuse, UT, showcased a commendable start in the 2026 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon, maintaining steadiness with early splits averaging around 9:41 min/mile. Her first three miles were consistent, each split selectively timed below 10 minutes. She maintained strong positioning in her gender division at around 676-186. However, pacing dynamics changed noticeably after mile 6, with splits trending upwards from 9:54 to 11:55 min/mile by mile 13.

Finishing 191st in her age division, she completed the race strong amidst challenging later-stage splits. Focus on pacing could help sustain the initial strong velocity for future races.
