Consistent Race Performance with a Notable Improvement Jess Rollar from Snowflake, AZ participated in the 2025 Phoenix Marathon, completing the half marathon in 2:55:46, with an overall pace of 13:25 min/mile. Her race performance showcased impressive steady pacing, notably managing to maintain a pace close to her average in most splits. Jess started strong with her first mile at 13:30 min/mile and ended with a final mile at 13:03 min/mile, marking some acceleration towards the end. Notably, between the 3rd and 4th mile, she demonstrated her fastest split at 13:01 min/mile. Her mid-race drop in place, reflected in the 6-mile split where her overall place shot up to 941, is an area to explore for strategic improvement. Returning to the initial strategy in later miles could optimize her performance further. Racing with the "Slow AF AZ Running Club," Jess took 128th in her division (F40-44), showing strong competitiveness among her peers. Focused attention on maintaining her pacing through the mid-segments could provide better outcomes in future races.
