Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Ellory Busch #21167 Race: 2025 Portland 10K MindRX Group Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Pace with a Strong Middle Performance Ellory Busch showcased a noteworthy performance in the 2025 Portland Marathon's 10K MindRX Group event. Maintaining a steady pace, Ellory's average elapsed pace was 10:33 min/mile, concluding the race with a final time of 1:05:25. Particularly impressive was her performance in miles 4 and 5, where she achieved a split time of 10:17 min/mile, resulting in a competitive jump in placement to 278th overall and 21st in her division. Ellory's start was consistent with the first two miles clocking the same split time of 10:32 each. While mile 3 presented a decrease in pace to 11:00 min/mile, the subsequent recovery and improved pace in the middle section were commendable. Ending with a strong placement, Ellory was 50th in the F30-34 division. A minor suggestion would be to aim for a more consistent pace across all splits, potentially targeting steady sub-10:30 performances throughout. Keep building on the strong middle race efforts!
