Consistent Division Leader with Minor Splits Adjustment Required Bradley's performance in the race was marked by consistency and determination. With an overall time of 3:18:04 and an average pace of 7:33 min/mile, he maintained a leader position throughout, particularly excelling in his M30-34 division where he secured top place consistently. Throughout the 26.2-mile marathon, Bradley's splits mostly hovered around the 7:20 min/mile mark, showcasing his strong pacing abilities. There were noticeable increases in split times towards the final miles, particularly with an 8:47 min/mile at mile 25, resulting in a slight drop in his pace. Consider focusing on endurance for the latter part of the marathon to maintain the incredible pacing from earlier. Despite this, Bradleys display of strategic speed in the earlier segments of the race propelled him to finish confidently, reasserting his position as the front-runner in his division. Excellent job representing Tacoma, WA in the 2026 Capital City Marathon!
