Steady Early Pace Gives Way to a Tougher Back Half Alex Cardona finished the 10K in 1:01:57, an overall pace of 9:59 per mile. His race started strong, with a 9:04 opening mile that proved his fastest of the day. Splits held in the 9:209:38 range through mile three before elapsed pace slipped past the 9:36 mark by mile four, and the final miles cost him more time, with the last mile clocking 11:27. Racing at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Cardona's early miles showed the sharpest execution of his day. Building pacing strategy around sustaining that opening rhythm through the second half could be a useful focus for his next race at this distance.
