Consistent Pacing Yields Solid Results Tyson Heesacker maintained a consistent performance throughout the 10K MindRX Group event at the 2025 Portland Marathon. Starting strong with an 8:12 split pace for the first mile, some variation ensued with a slight dip to a 9:00 pace for the second mile. However, Tyson quickly regained his composure, maintaining an 8:36 pace for miles three through five, and slightly improving to an 8:28 pace in the final stretch. Overall, Tyson completed the race with a time of 53:13, averaging an 8:35 pace over the 6.2-mile course. His consistency in pacing was evident as he balanced each split effectively. Tyson positioned himself as the 120th male finisher and 26th in the competitive M30-34 division, indicative of steady pacing rather than quick bursts. To enhance future performance, focus on maintaining that early speed from the first mile throughout the race might yield even more impressive results.
