Date: Dec. 13, 2025 Participant: Taylor Lemley #4818 Race: 2025 Phoenix Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Performance with a Strong Finish Taylor Lemley maintained a steady pace throughout the 2025 Phoenix Marathon, completing the half marathon with a final time of 2:38:43. Averaging a pace of 12:06 min/mile, Taylor showed a consistent effort across the 13.1 miles, particularly excelling in the later stages with a strong closing mile of 11:30 min/mile. It's noteworthy that the mid-race sections saw some pacing variations, which is common, but Taylor regained momentum toward the end. Impressively, Taylor progressed in placement, moving from 1913th overall initially to finishing 1829th amongst 2723 participants. The consistency in pace is evident, but there's potential to focus on sustaining the mid-race speed more evenly, as observed with the slower 10th and 11th miles. This analysis suggests refining pacing strategy and working on maintaining pace consistency might further enhance performance in future events. Taylor's perseverance and ability to finish strong are commendable attributes.
