Date: July 26th & 27th Participant: Niels Seim #5732 Race: 2025 Jack and Jill Downhill Marathon Marathon Sunday Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pace Leads to Strong Finish Niels Seim demonstrated solid consistency in his performance at the Jack and Jill Downhill Marathon. Maintaining a strong pace, Niels averaged 6:08 min/mile over the marathon distance of 26.2 miles, finishing with an elapsed time of 2:40:42. His pacing through the race was noteworthy, as Niels managed to progressively increase speed, particularly between miles 4 and 7, where his splits ranged from 5:54 to 5:50 min/mile. An area to potentially focus on for future races could be maintaining the quicker paces seen in the early miles. Specifically, focusing on sustaining the sub-6:00 min/mile pace observed in the 4th to 9th miles may help. Despite a slight slow down in the latter part of the race, Niels achieved a commendable position, finishing 3rd in his age division (M30-39), and placed 8th overall out of 921 participants. Great achievements, keep up the impressive work.
