Consistent Effort with Key Opportunities for Pacing Jessica Rhody completed the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon with an overall elapsed time of 2:56:12. Her average pace was 13:27 min/mile. Throughout the race, Jessica maintained her position relatively well, finishing 3708th overall out of 4907 participants, and 221st in her F35-39 division. She began the race with a strong start, running the first mile with a 10:24 min/mile pace. By the second mile, she improved her pace slightly to 10:20 min/mile. However, the pace gradually decreased with some variability, notably at mile 3 with a 14:18 min/mile pace. The splits suggest that endurance was managed fairly well until mile 7, where a peak time of 16:03 min/mile was noted, indicating it may be beneficial to focus on pacing consistency in the latter stages of the race. Finishing with a 12:31 min/mile pace in the final mile shows strong finishing capabilities. Keep working on maintaining early speed through the middle and later stages.
