Consistent Start with Late Slower Splits Christian Bumann consistently maintained a steady pace for the majority of the race. His initial 5 miles showed improvement from a 7:56 min/mile to around 7:42 min/mile, reflecting strategic pace gains. He began the half marathon with placements shifting attentively, reaching a peak placement at 20th in his M30-34 division by mile 6. This consistent improvement showcases potential for early race pacing strategies. The later miles indicate a slowing in pace, notably the 11th mile at an 8:33 min/mile split, affecting the overall finish time. Christian's overall elapsed pace was 7:57 min/mile, summing up the course in 1:44:10. While maintaining stable pace through competitive sections, a focus on sustaining pace towards the last few miles could lead to even better finish times. Ending at 25th in his division might be an area to target for future improvement. Performance within the Horizon Paw Pacers team is commendable.
