Impressive Middle Segment Push Leads to Great Performance Meghan Drew made a strong showing at the 2026 Surf City 10 5K in Sierra Madre, CA. Her overall completion time was 32:02, with a steady average pace of 10:20 min/mile. Notably, Meghan displayed a remarkable shift in pace during the second mile where she clocked an impressive 8:39 min/mile, moving up significantly in her overall standing. She finished 15th in the F 40-44 division and 154th in her gender out of 2148 participants. Her improvement in the second mile segment is commendable, suggesting a potential strategy to carry over in future races. Starting off more conservatively with a 15:27 min/mile for the first mile allowed her to conserve energy, which she utilized exceptionally well to improve tempo in the next segments. To capitalize on her strength, maintaining mid-race momentum while finding opportunities for faster final kicks could enhance her overall race times even further. Well done, Meghan, and congratulations on a great race!
