Date: March 15, 2026 Participant: Daniel Lita #44554 Race: 2026 Shamrock Run Fest presented by Toyota 5K Run Distance: 3.1 miles

Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Daniel Lita, a 49-year-old from Beaverton, OR, delivered a consistent performance at the 2026 Shamrock Run Fest presented by Toyota. His splits show admirable consistency: maintaining a pace around 9:24-9:27 min/mile across the 5K distance. Starting with a 9:26 min/mile pace, he subtly improved his pacing, particularly noticeable in the third mile where he clocked a 9:20 min/mile split. This incrementally faster finish demonstrates his ability to maintain and subtly improve speed in the latter stretch. Completing the 5K with an official time of 29:01, Daniel held a steady pace of 9:21 min/mile. Among 788 men at the start, he placed 808th at the finish, indicating a slight shift in position despite his steady effort. Maintaining such consistent pacing is commendable, and perhaps focusing on optimizing early mile pacing could prevent positional shifts. Daniel represented his team, Delvers, with a strong, consistent performance.
