Steady Performance with Notable Gains Sriharsha Vajjala showed consistent efforts during the 2025 Phoenix Marathon Half Marathon. He maintained a steady pace throughout the 13.1-mile race, finishing with an elapsed time of 2:45:05 and an average pace of 12:36 min/mile. Notably, his pace improved notably between miles 3 and 6, where he achieved a split pace of 11:26 min/mile in mile 4. His position within the M40-44 division also saw significant gains, climbing from a position in the 115th during the first few miles to a stronger finish of 102nd place by mile 5. While Sriharsha faced some challenges in the final miles, he successfully maintained a top half position in his division. The pacing strategy in the mid-section of the course showed strategic energy distribution, especially given the progression in mile placement from 2149th overall at mile 1 to a peak improvement by mile 5. For future races, focusing on sustaining this mid-race momentum in the final stretch could be beneficial.
