Consistent Start with Areas for Review in the Portland Marathon Finish Richie Dorjgurkhem showed consistency in the early stages of the 2025 Portland Marathon, maintaining a steady pace of around 8:20 min/mile for the first six miles. Notably, this consistency helped him secure positions of 531st in his gender and 56th in the M19-24 division during these initial miles. His place fluctuated throughout the race, showing a steady initial strategy but leaving room for consideration during the later stages. In latter miles, small increments in split times resulted in a noticeable impact on his completion time. Mile 21 marked a slowing with a split pace of 9:01 min/mile. The final mile saw a significant drop to 11:30 min/mile, contributing to an overall finish time of 3:50:07 and an average pace of 8:47 min/mile. Focus on maintaining stamina in later race stages would strategically benefit future performance. Keep building on this foundation for the next race, Richie!
