Steady Effort with Consistent Splits Tess maintained a consistent pace throughout the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon, completing the 13.1-mile course with an overall time of 3:16:38 and an average pace of 15:00 min/mile. Her performance showed steady progress across the splits, starting with a strong first mile of 13:41 min/mile and managing to keep her pace close to this until mile 5, where there was a slight slowdown to a 14:36 min/mile split. Notably, Tess's pace gradually increased from miles 6 to 11, reaching a maximum split time of 16:34 min/mile by miles 10 and 11. However, she regained momentum in the final two miles, clocking splits of 15:26 min/mile and 15:09 min/mile for miles 12 and 13 respectively. As Tess aims to enhance her strategy, focusing on maintaining her pace and preventing late-race slowdowns could contribute positively to future races. Keep up the great consistency in pacing!
