Date: May 30, 2026 Participant: Grant Barnette #212 Race: 2026 Twisted Fork 30K Distance: 18.64 miles

Impressive Age Group Finish with Consistent Pace Grant Barnette completed the 2026 Twisted Fork Ultra with a time of 2:15:30 over a distance of 18.29 miles, achieving an average pace of 7:24 min/mile. Impressively, he secured 3rd place in the M30-39 division among 234 participants. His performance was strong throughout the race, maintaining placement within the top positions in his division, with notable split paces such as 5:42 min/mile at the Kimball Creek segment. Grant's splits reveal a strategic race approach, starting with an intense 5:42 min/mile pace over the first 1.51 miles, establishing a strong position early. Although there was a variance in split paces, like 9:14 min/mile reaching the peak elevation at Flying Dog, he balanced this at the Red Hawk segment with a fast 7:37 min/mile pace. A potential area for future focus could be optimizing mid-race pacing to reduce time loss during elevation changes. Overall, an excellent performance.
