Strong Finish with Consistent Pace Thomas Mauriac demonstrated impressive pacing in the Joshua Tree Half Marathon with an average pace of 7:11 min/mile. He clocked an official time of 1:34:10. Notably, Thomas maintained a remarkably steady rhythm throughout the race, with his fastest split being 6:26 and the slowest at 8:31. Starting strong with a 7:29 in the first mile, he exhibited increasing velocity mid-race, notably achieving a 6:42 split at the 9-mile mark. He secured the 1st place in his M35-39 division, demonstrating a strong performance against others in his age category. His strategic pacing allowed him to progress from 12th to 10th place overall, and 9th in gender. The variation in his mile splits indicates a strategic use of effort, with the capacity to accelerate in the later stages of the race. In future races, slight focus on maintaining mid-race splits slightly closer to his fastest splits could further enhance his overall result.
