Date: March 15, 2026 Participant: Ethan Lutgen #2122 Race: 2026 Shamrock Run Fest presented by Toyota Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Performance with Strong Recovery Ethan Lutgen ran a total time of 1:41:22 for the Half Marathon, maintaining an average pace of 7:44 min/mile. Ethan's first mile was his fastest at 6:33 min/mile, placing him 61st overall, but an early challenging pace led to a stronger later effort. This initial speed shows potential to build endurance. A slower Mile 8 at 9:02 min/mile saw his placement at 371st overall, yet Ethan demonstrated admirable recovery in the final miles. Notably, his final split improved to 7:25 min/mile, allowing for a closing overall place of 431 out of 4421. Keeping a tighter range of pace between miles could improve results. Consider maintaining consistent energy distribution throughout. The progress from earlier splits highlights potential for strategic pacing, which can be further refined. As part of "Allen made me do it," Ethan contributed to a balanced team effort, demonstrating determination and potential for further improvement in pace strategy.
