Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Rebecca Gu #1498 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Rebecca maintained a remarkably consistent pace throughout the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon. Starting with a 9:52 min/mile pace at the beginning, she gradually quickened her pace, hitting an impressive 8:42 min/mile on her final mile. Her pacing strategy kept her average speed at 9:27 min/mile over 13.1 miles, which shows strong endurance and a well-executed race plan. She finished with a total time of 2:03:49, placing her 437th among females and 91st in her division for F25-29 out of 4907 competitors. Notable improvements appeared in the latter half, especially between miles 9 and 13, where her pace consistently remained below 9:30 min/mile. This performance implies potential opportunities to shave off more time by maintaining that final mile's energy earlier in the race. Overall, it was a disciplined race from Rebecca with room to leverage her late-race speed in future competitions.
