Consistent Pacing and a Strong Mid-Race Surge Ashley Wright maintained a solid performance during the 2025 Portland Marathon's 10K MindRX Group event. She completed the race in 1:11:37, covering 6.2 miles with an average pace of 11:33 min/mile. Notably, her early race splits were consistent, clocking two identical 10:52 min/mile paces for the first two miles. Her performance displayed a strategic mid-race surge between the 3rd and 5th miles, achieving an improved pace of 11:13 min/mile in splits four and five. Despite a slower final mile (12:58 min/mile), Ashley demonstrated strong rankings earlier in the race, momentarily securing 34th place in her division from splits four to five. Substantial gains in positioning occurred during these splits, advancing significantly from her initial ranking. Continuing to focus on pacing consistency, especially in the latter portions of future races, could yield even better performance. Keep up the great work and continue building on this solid foundation!
