Consistent Early Pace, Late Challenges Andrew Gallegos demonstrated strong pacing in the early miles of the 2025 Las Vegas Marathon's Half Marathon event. He started off smoothly with an initial 7:04 min/mile, maintaining a competitive position of 205th overall. Significant gains were noted in the third mile with a split time of 6:33, boosting his placement to 136th overall. His overall placement improved as his cumulative pace approached 7:00 min/mile by the fourth mile, maintaining solid positioning within his division. A slow-down was noted after mile six, with subsequent mile paces exceeding the 9:00 min/mile mark. This reduction in pace resulted in a concluding pace of 8:21 min/mile and a finishing time of 1:49:33. While the overall time placed him 336th overall among 1,772 participants, there is a noteworthy opportunity for Andrew to focus on sustaining his earlier pace through race simulation or long interval training, potentially optimizing his second half performance in future events.
