Consistent Pacing and Strategic Improvement Nick Sage completed the 2026 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon with an overall time of 2:26:06, maintaining a steady pace of 11:09 minutes per mile. Notably, his performance in the male 60-64 division saw him consistently place within the top 20, finishing 14th out of his division. Nick began with an 11:38 pace for the first mile and improved throughout, peaking with a strong final split pace of 10:40 at mile 13. The strategic improvements in pace are commendable: Nick successfully reduced his split times at several points. The significant time gains between miles 5 and 8, where he consistently ran paces just above 10-minute miles, highlight his ability to make targeted moves during the race. For future races, focusing on sustaining the mid-race paces throughout could result in an even stronger overall performance. Keep up the great effort and continuous improvement, Nick!
