Consistent Mid-Race Surge Amidst Challenging Finish Hayden Bromberek showcased a solid performance at the 2025 Portland Half Marathon with an overall time of 1:59:33, pacing an average of 9:07 per mile. Noteworthy, he maintained a consistent progression from the 3rd mile onwards, where his pace notably quickened from 9:25 to as fast as 8:19 by mile 6. This mid-race improvement helped bolster his standing, peaking impressively at 8:39 per mile by mile 8, placing him 533rd overall, an exceptional spike from his earlier placements. Hayden strategically maintained this momentum through to mile 11 but encountered a pace decrease during the final two miles. Closing with miles 12 and 13 pacing at over 11 minutes, which saw a slip in positioning to 1523rd overall. Encouragement can be found in the strong midrace execution. A focus on sustaining momentum in the final miles could result in improved future outcomes. Overall, it was a commendable effort for the B1GB4LL5 teammate.
