Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Paul Sieger #17751 Race: 2025 Portland Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Performance with a Strong Finish Paul Sieger recorded a final time of 1:50:51 in the 2025 Portland Marathon Half Marathon. Throughout the 13.1-mile event, he maintained a consistent pace. Starting with a steady 8:21 min/mile in the first mile, Paul finished strong with a 13th-mile split of 8:16 min/mile, finishing with an overall pace of 8:27 min/mile. Paul demonstrated strategic pacing improvement in the latter part of the race, especially apparent between the 8th and 9th miles, where his placing went up significantly (from 435th overall at mile 8 to 772nd at mile 9). Despite this fluctuation, he effectively regained momentum, resulting in a robust finish. Although his place in the M35-39 division was 113th, this offers an opportunity for focused pacing strategies in future races, particularly between miles nine and eleven, to optimize overall performance. Keep up the great effort in team competitions like those with the Nike Employee Team.
