Consistent Effort with Strong Start Maria Sandora-Meeder completed the 2025 Portland Marathon 10K with an elapsed time of 1:16:06 and an average pace of 12:16 min/mile. She was notably strong at the start, with her fastest pace at 11:17 min/mile during the first mile, securing 4th in her F60-64 division early in the race. Her ability to maintain a solid position is highlighted by consistently finishing around the midpoint of her division, ultimately placing 13th out of the F60-64 division participants. The pacing strategy showed a strong recovery in miles four and five with consistent splits of 11:40 min/mile, demonstrating effective energy management through those segments. Consider focusing on maintaining a more consistent pace across all splits, particularly during the second and third miles where pace slowed. Additionally, further pace stabilization in the later miles could help maintain or improve position in future races. Keep up the dedication as part of the "Never Stop Starting" team!
