Fast Start Fuels a Steady Half Marathon Finish Peter Powers finished the half marathon in 1:40:07, averaging 7:38 per mile. Powers opened aggressively, covering the first seven miles between 6:36 and 7:23 per mile, holding an elapsed pace under 7:00 through mile six. The middle miles brought a natural settling of rhythm, with mile 8 landing at 8:34 and mile 9 at 8:50, the slowest full-mile stretch of the race. From there, Powers steadied again, closing miles 11 through 13 between 7:56 and 8:41 per mile to bring the elapsed pace down to 7:37 by the finish. That opening seven-mile stretch, run well under race pace, stands as the strongest sustained segment of the day, and the final miles show a runner able to hold form as the race wore on at altitude.
