Consistent Pacing with Stellar Comeback Alssie Casayuran demonstrated a solid performance at the 10K MindRX Group event during the 2025 Portland Marathon. Starting with a strong first mile at a pace of 12:17 min/mile, Alssie managed to maintain consistent pacing across most segments. Notably, despite a slower third mile at a 14:38 min/mile pace, she rebounded remarkably in the fourth and fifth miles, both clocked at 11:35 min/mile, showcasing effective recovery and focus. The overall elapsed time for Alssie's race was 1:17:27, with an average pace of 12:29 min/mile. Among a total participation of 2114, she placed 120th in her division (F25-29) and achieved a placement of 648th among female competitors. To build on this performance, examining strategies to prevent the deceleration observed in the third mile could be beneficial. Chiefly, her finishing half might serve as an excellent indicator of her potential for further improvement in future races.
