Consistent Start with Opportunity in the Middle Splits Narin Anvar, competing in the 2025 Portland Marathon 10K MindRX Group race, displayed a strong initial performance. Her initial two miles were consistent, both clocking in at 11:54 min/mile, showing reliability in her pacing which placed her 70th in her F40-44 division. The effort was commendable as she maintained her place despite a packed race field. However, there was a notable slowdown observed in the middle of the race. Mile 3 saw a split pace of 13:32 min/mile, and it slightly improved to 13:25 min/mile in miles 4 and 5. This slowdown impacted her divisional standing, moving her to 79th by mile 5.
