Consistent Recovery Shines Through Kahiau maintained a steady pace throughout the 2025 Portland Marathon 10K MindRX Group event. Starting strong, his first mile split was an impressive 12:48 min/mile, standing 18th in his division at the outset. A slight slowdown in the second and third miles resulted in splits of 16:05 min/mile, indicating a strategic recovery phase, but it caused a slip in overall rankings. Notably, in miles four and five, Kahiau managed to quicken the pace back to 14:31 min/mile, which is commendable. In the final stretch, Kahiau completed the race in 1:31:37 with an average pace of 14:46 min/mile. Despite dropping to 45th in the division by the end, it's clear that his ability to increase his pace after initial setbacks is noteworthy. Consider working on maintaining a steady pace in future races, as this could greatly enhance overall performance and prevent ranking declines. Keep up the determination, and focus on refining those pacing strategies!
