Consistent Performance with a Strong Finish Blong Thao delivered a steady race throughout the 10K event at the 2025 Seattle Marathon | Summer Events. Notably, his split times remained consistently close, ranging from 6:58 min/mile at the first mile to 7:30 min/mile at the second, indicating a stable pace. This consistent approach saw an impressive finish of 44:39, earning him 10th in gender and 2nd in the M30-39 division. His final split pulled off a time of 6:57, demonstrating a strong close-out to the race. In comparison to previous performances such as his recent 5K at the same event series, where he clocked in at 20:04, Blong demonstrated endurance over the longer distance while maintaining a competitive pace. Suggestion for future races: a focus on the second mile to reduce the apparent pace drop could enhance overall time, potentially leading to an even better division placement.
