Steady Start with Room for Consistency Dan started his race with a strong first mile at a pace of 7:31 min/mile, maintaining a competitive second place in his division. Throughout the first five miles, he displayed promising pace variations, with the fastest split between the 8th and 9th miles at 7:07 min/milea great effort to regain momentum. His performance in the early stages saw him lead his division briefly and place prominently in the overall standings. The latter half of the race introduced some variability in his pacing, with a noted slowdown in the tenth mile at an 11:20 min/mile pace, which contributed to his final time of 1:54:23. As he continues his journey with Team Hoyt Denver, some focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout could leverage his strong stamina and elevate his finish closer to previous benchmarks. Keep building on those endurance sessions to strengthen that consistent stamina drive.
