Consistent Pacing, Opportunities Identified Chris Bisnett completed the 2025 Portland Marathon's Half Marathon with an overall elapsed time of 3:17:16, averaging a pace of 15:03 min/mile. Beginning with a consistent pace around 13:58 min/mile in the first mile, Chris experienced a consistent pace for the next two miles but saw a slight drop starting at mile 4 with a pace of 15:36 min/mile. Despite fluctuations, he showcased steadier progression in miles 11 and 12, pacing at 14:01 and 14:03 min/mile, respectively. Chris, part of the "26 on 26!" team, placed 364th in his M25-29 age division out of 368. His rankings dipped in the mid-sections, notably at mile 4 and again at mile 7, suggesting perhaps an opportunity to focus on maintaining energy through mid-race. However, he managed to regain some position towards the end, with a strong finish. Overall, fine-tuning split consistency and strategizing for the mid-race could enhance his future performances.
