Consistent Effort Shines Through in Race Performance Michael Catarineau, participating in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon, maintained a steady and consistent performance throughout the race. With a final time of 2:39:47 and an average pace of 12:11 minutes per mile, he completed the 13.1-mile distance with remarkable endurance. Notably, Michael managed to improve his pace during the final mile, clocking an 11:28-minute split time. Although his overall placement was 3281st out of 4907, it highlights the potential for evaluative growth as he placed 2026th among males and 418th in the M30-34 division. Mid-race metrics show that his average pace slightly decelerated, particularly between miles 8 and 11, where times hovered around 13-minute miles. To optimize future performances, focusing on consistent pacing strategies and intervals may be beneficial. Nevertheless, his ability to finish strong is commendable and sets a solid groundwork for future races.
