Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Peter Farrow #21418 Race: 2025 Portland 10K MindRX Group Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Start with a Strong Finish Peter Farrow completed the 2025 Portland Marathon's 10K MindRX Group event with a total time of 57:15, maintaining an overall pace of 9:14 min/mile. Throughout the race, Peter demonstrated remarkable consistency in his pacing. His splits for the first three miles remained steady at 9:57 min/mile. Impressively, he managed to increase his pace in the latter half of the race, cutting down his split time to 8:47 min/mile in miles four and five, and further accelerating to an 8:08 min/mile pace in the final mile. Contrast in performance was notable in his climbing standings as well; from starting at 266th in his gender category, he improved his position to finish 194th. In his division (M19-24), he climbed from 22nd to finish 15th. Such progress can be attributed to the pacing strategy employed during the second half of the race. Continued focus on splits in subsequent events, particularly in initial miles, might yield an even more competitive race outcome.
