Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Peyton Ochoa #8246 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Mid-Pack Performance with Room to Maintain Pace Peyton Ochoa completed the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K with a final time of 1:34:03 over 6.2 miles, maintaining an overall pace of 15:10 min/mile. Of 2010 runners, she was 1421st overall and 824th among female competitors. In her F20-24 division, she achieved 75th place. Interestingly, Peyton's initial mile split stood out, clocking in at 12:14 min/mile, her fastest of the race. Subsequent miles presented an opportunity to maintain that initial burst of speed; pace varied between 13:07 and 18:30 min/mile. A more controlled adjustment after mile two could preserve energy and help gain more favorable placements. Importantly, maintaining form during the first half and achieving a consistent pace in the final stretch could yield better outcomes. Steadying pace fluctuations could enhance Peyton's performance in future races. She's part of the "Holla-Days" team, indicating strong community support.
