Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: ELIZABETH PINA #2941 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pace with Strong Mid-Race Performance Elizabeth Pina demonstrated a noteworthy half marathon performance at the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon, completing the 13.1-mile race in 1:49:42. Her average pace throughout the race was 8:22 min/mile. Notably, during miles 4 and 5, Elizabeth achieved her fastest split paces of 8:05 and 7:59 min/mile, showing a strong mid-race performance. Elizabeth maintained a consistent pace throughout most of the race, evident from her top 20 placements in her division from mile 3 through mile 8. However, her pace slightly declined in the latter part of the course, with split paces over 8:50 min/mile in the last three miles, slightly affecting her division place in the final stretch. As a member of the Houston Striders, continuing to focus on sustaining pacing strategies over a longer distance may further improve her race performance in future events.
