Consistent Early Splits and Promising Start Peter Xu, representing Fat Bao Running Club, displayed a strong start in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon. In the initial 3 miles, he maintained a consistent pace of just under 10 minutes per mile, placing himself 3rd in the M20-24 division by the second mile. This early pacing strategy was effective, as he peeked at 1st place in his division during mile 2, demonstrating a solid early performance and positioning. Throughout the second half, while his pace slowed to an average of 11:15 min/mile, he maintained consistent division standings, finishing 3rd in the M20-24 category. His ability to hold this position shows promise. To enhance future performances, focusing on the latter half of the race can help Peter maintain the initial pace or minimize slowdowns, ensuring a strong finish. The overall distance completed was 13.1 miles, with Peter placing 21st overall, out of 36 participants.
