Date: May 4, 2025 Participant: Rider Clauss #3352 Race: 2025 Seattle Marathon | Summer Events Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Impressive Strong Finish with Pace Acceleration Rider Clauss, a 39-year-old runner from Seattle, WA, demonstrated consistent performance with a calculated pacing strategy in his recent Half Marathon at the 2025 Seattle Marathon | Summer Events. Noteworthy was his ability to progressively quicken his pace, culminating in a finishing time of 1:23:04 and an average pace of 6:20 min/mile. Impressively, Rider improved his position throughout the race, particularly excelling from mile 7 onward. This strategic pacing allowed him to finish 11th overall out of 1,697 participants. Highlights of the race include the strong finish in the last mile, where Rider recorded his fastest split at 5:26 min/mile. This acceleration was crucial in improving his placement, eventually securing 4th in the M30-39 division and 10th overall male. Continual progression in split times suggests that maintaining and perhaps starting with slightly faster splits could be beneficial for future races. Great job maintaining form and showcasing a strong competitive spirit!
