Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Beth Rawson #1053 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing with a Final Burst Beth Rawson maintained steady pacing throughout the marathon, starting her split at a pace of 10:43 min/mile and impressively dropping to 9:25 min/mile by mile 9. Throughout the race, she exhibited consistency, keeping her pace close to 10:00 min/mile for the majority of the course. Her ability to finish the final 2 miles under a 10 min/mile pace shows potential in pacing management. Beth's standout moment was the significant drop in time to a 7:40 min/mile pace at mile 24, demonstrating strong endurance and finishing capabilities. Her performance in the F50-54 division displayed a steady presence, mostly alternating between the 18th and 22nd positions. A tiny adjustment in the pacing strategy, especially in the last few miles, could enhance performance further. For improvement, maintaining a uniform pace can prevent the slowdowns observed in the final stages, like the 17:19 min/mile at mile 25.
