Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Robert Amato #2985 Race: 2025 Las Vegas Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Start, Gradual Slowdown In the 2025 Las Vegas Marathon, Robert Amato, aged 28 from Apple Valley, CA, demonstrated a steady start with his fastest split at mile 2, posting a 9:43 min/mile. His initial splits remained under 10:30 min/mile, with notable improvements in placement, dropping from 1359th at mile 1 to 1245th by mile 4. However, the second half showed a progressive pace decline, as his splits slowed towards 16:39 min/mile at mile 15. This might suggest a pacing strategy adjustment or fatigue over the longer distance. Over the entire marathon distance of 26.2 miles, Robert completed the race with a total time of 5:49:24, averaging a pace of 13:20 min/mile. His performance fluctuated, particularly between miles 9 to 15, indicating the need for pacing adjustments or increased endurance training to better sustain earlier paces. Robert placed 1013th in gender and 180th in his division (M25-29), amidst 1879 participants, an indication of his determination throughout the marathon. Partnering closely with his team, BAKE, may provide insights for improvement.
