Date: Dec. 13, 2025 Participant: Alejandro Martinez Ambrosio #3310 Race: 2025 Phoenix Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Start and Consistency Lead to Top Finish Alejandro's performance in the 2025 Phoenix Marathon's Half Marathon was marked by a powerful start, clocking a first mile of 4:51, putting him in the lead. He maintained top-tier speed throughout, with strong splits such as a 4:59 for the third mile. His average pace was an impressive 5:07 min/mile, leading to a final time of 1:07:13. Strategic pacing kept him in second place for a significant portion of the race, ultimately securing a 5th place overall finish and 2nd in his age division (M25-29) out of 2,723 participants. Slight variations noticeable in the 6th and final miles, where splits extended to 5:20 and 5:09, indicate a potential focus area for maintaining even pacing. Alejandro should acknowledge his ability to accelerate well, as seen in mile nine's 4:52 split. Consistency in later stages could enhance future performances.
