Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Mindy Cummings #10594 Race: 2025 Portland Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing and Strategic Placement Mindy Cummings completed the 2025 Portland Marathon with an elapsed time of 4:45:05, maintaining an overall pace of 10:52 min/mile. She placed 2006th overall out of 3445 participants, successfully finishing 629th among female runners and 48th in the F45-49 division. Her splits reveal she maintained a relatively steady pace for the first 14 miles, with the fastest split at mile 5 at 9:39 min/mile. Notable fluctuations appeared in later stages, especially between miles 16-22, where split times increased to over 11 min/mile. Improvements could be targeted in endurance over the latter half of the race, where a noticeable pace reduction affected her overall time. She showed consistent pacing through mile 15, suggesting a strong base and good initial conditioning. Enhancing long-run stamina closer to race day might prevent the split pace decline that occurred after halfway. Overall, Mindy demonstrated a solid performance, staying competitive in her age division.
