Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Melonie Beacham #5488 Race: 2025 Las Vegas 7.02 Mile Distance: 7.02 miles

Consistent Effort with Mid-Race Split Improvement Melonie Beacham completed the 2025 Las Vegas Marathon 7.02 Mile event with consistent pacing, finishing with an Elapsed Time of 2:03:33 and an Elapsed Pace of 17:36 min/mile. Her overall position was 1169 out of 1365 participants, and she placed 36th in her F50-54 division within the women's category. Notably, Melonie maintained a steady pace throughout the race and demonstrated a particularly strong performance between miles 2 and 3, where she reduced her split pace significantly to 15:36 min/mile. Melonie's pacing strategy showed early promise, especially in the middle sections of the race. However, her pace slightly slowed during the final stages. The mile 3 split improvement highlights an area of strength that could be built upon further. Going forward, Melonie could explore strategies to sustain her peak pacing through the latter parts of her races, potentially by incorporating more focused endurance training sessions that target consistent energy distribution across longer distances. Her participation with the 702 Crew adds a valuable team support element, fostering potential opportunities for peer-led pacing strategies and shared training insights.
