Date: Feb. 1, 2026 Participant: Stephanie Morfitt #6346 Race: 2026 Surf City Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Performance with Strategic Pacing Stephanie Morfitt executed a consistent race at the 2026 Surf City Half Marathon. Starting with a strong 7:20 min/mile pace for the first mile, her pace varied slightly but was commendable for the first half, averaging around 7:24 min/mile through the 4-mile mark. Her splits demonstrate robust pacing, with minor deviations that kept each mile under or around 7:30. A slight increase in split times from mile 8 onwards indicates a slight slowing trend, peaking at an 8:23 min/mile for the final mile. Morfitts strategic pacing earned her a 9th place finish in the F45-49 division out of a field of over 12,000 participants. Although her placement might suggest areas for improvement, Morfitt's ability to maintain a relatively steady pace is noteworthy. Future focus could be on maintaining early race paces in later miles to enhance finishing times and placements.
