Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: KAITLYN BASSLER #14231 Race: 2025 Portland Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pace with Notable Split Variation Kaitlyn maintained a consistent pace throughout the 2025 Portland Marathon Half Marathon, finishing with an elapsed time of 2:46:34 and averaging a pace of 12:42 min/mile. It's interesting to note that despite a consistent average pace, Kaitlyn's splits varied, with her fastest split being 11:59 min/mile. She held a steady early pace of 12:18 min/mile for the first three miles, which slightly slowed as the race progressed, peaking at a 13:44 min/mile pace at mile 11. This variation did result in fluctuating race positions, ending in 4184th place out of 5623 participants. Comparing to her previous race in the 2024 Portland Marathon, there was a drop in overall pace from 11:30 to 12:42 min/mile. While participants increased by over 1000 in 2025, her placing shifted correspondingly. Focusing on late-race pacing and endurance might improve overall performance. Keep up the dedication with the Bassler Hopeless Peanuts team!
