Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Lizbeth Ibarra #7780 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston 10K Handcycle Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Pace with Strong Finishing Split Lizbeth Ibarra's performance in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K showed a balanced approach in her pacing across the 10K handcycle event. Her overall time was 1:20:42, with an average pace of 13:01 min/mile. Notably, her third and fifth splits displayed impressive pacing improvements of 11:58 min/mile and 8:42 min/mile, respectively, accounting for quicker segments during the race. Given the progress in segment pacing, particularly her fastest split during the fifth mile, focusing on maintaining this momentum in mid-race segments could enhance her overall performance. Furthermore, her consistent placement as the 8th female suggests she's holding steady among competitors. Continuous improvement in pacing strategy can be achieved by focusing on maintaining a steady effort in later stages. Lizbeth's overall performance places her in a strong position, but fine-tuning her middle splits could lead to significant time gains in future races.
