Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Rebecca Chu #804 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Performance Despite Slightly Slower Splits Rebecca Chu delivered a consistent performance in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon, completing the 13.1-mile course with an overall time of 2:51:25. Her average pace was 13:05 min/mile, showing improvement over last year's pace of 13:13 min/mile. Despite this progress, her split times revealed a slight annual trend towards a slower pace: starting at 11:21 min/mile and gradually slowing to 13:05 min/mile by the final mile. Her finish ranked her at 3618 overall out of 4907 participants. Rebecca's overall consistency is evident in her race strategy, yet some attention could be given to maintaining a steadier pace throughout the event, especially considering slower split times like mile 8 at 14:41 min/mile. Encouragingly, she still found an extra push to close with a vigorous last mile pace of 12:59 min/mile. Enhancing this finish will be beneficial for future performances.
