Consistent Performance at Elevation Jared Westbrook completed the Trail Race Bryce Canyon with an elapsed time of 3:08:19 over a distance of 15.76 miles, maintaining an average pace of 11:56 min/mile. Notably, he secured 1st place in his M40-44 division, showing strong consistency across his previous races. Despite the challenging elevation changes, Jared demonstrated significant resilience, particularly maintaining a steady position post-Mile 1 where he ranked 17th overall. His splits reveal strategic pacing, particularly Mile 2’s impressive 7:35 min/mile, reflecting his ability to adapt and push through tougher sections. The varied split paces indicate an opportunity to work on consistency in pace across similar terrains, potentially improving his overall performance. An initial slower start may also be refined to leverage his strengths earlier in the race, ensuring a more balanced energy expenditure throughout. Continual focus on these aspects could enhance his future race outcomes.
