Consistent Pace Leads to Top Division Finish Seth Buchwalter completed the 2025 Portland Marathon 10K event with a total time of 41:00, achieving a steady average pace of 6:36 per mile. Even with a slight pace drop on the 3rd mile, where he recorded a split of 6:47, Seth managed to recover promptly and even finalize his race with a strong 6:29 mile. This consistent pacing enabled him to secure 1st place in his M35-39 age group. Notably finishing 15th in overall male category, Seth's performance showed great improvement from past races. In the previous races, such as the 2023 Portland Marathon Half, his pace was 7:10 per mile, contrasting with his increased speed in the 10K. Seth balances well between maintaining a consistent pace and accelerating when necessary. For future races, maintaining this strategy and focusing on preventing any slight drop in pace could further enhance Seth's racing performance.
