Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Taylor Anderson #214 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Effort with Mid-Race Improvement Taylor Anderson completed the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon with an official time of 2:55:59, averaging a pace of 13:26 per mile over the 13.1-mile distance. Taylor's pacing reveals a commendable effort to maintain consistency, particularly in the first half of the race. An interesting aspect of Taylor's performance is the noticeable pace increase observed between miles 3 and 5, with the fastest split recorded at mile 5 with a time of 12:02. This indicates a strong segment in the early part of the race. In the second half, Taylor's pace varied slightly, especially between miles 6 and 8, where the pace slowed, peaking at 14:29 in mile 8. However, the final miles showed a return to a more consistent pace, culminating with a strong finish. As part of Team Rivera/Anderson, Taylor placed 1519th among female participants and 286th in her F30-34 division out of a total pool of 4,907 runners. Looking ahead, focusing on sustaining the early momentum throughout might yield even stronger results.
