Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Dennis Stroh #2937 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Final 2K Dennis ran 5.00km in 32:20, averaging 6:28/km. He placed 299th in the M31-35 division. His pacing improved steadily after the opening 2km: 6:42, 7:23, then 6:30, followed by back-to-back 5:54 kilometres to close. That gave him a strong negative trend over the second half, cutting 1:29/km from his slowest kilometre to his fastest. The key stat is the finish: his final 2km averaged 5:54/km, much quicker than his overall pace. He also moved up from 332nd to 299th in his age group by 3km, showing good recovery after the early dip at 2km. For the next race, the main opportunity is a more even first 2km; holding closer to his 3km rhythm earlier could bring his overall time down.
