Consistent Pace with a Slight Mid-Race Variance Cinthia Mendoza maintained a consistently strong pace in the Half Marathon, finishing with an overall time of 2:00:38 and an average pace of 9:12 min/mile. Her splits show an impressive start, maintaining sub-9-minute miles in the initial three miles. A slight dip occurred between Mile 4 (10:48) and Mile 5 (8:54), possibly due to external factors, which resulted in a shift in her overall placement. Encouragingly, she regained her pace shortly afterwards, returning to sub-9-minute miles in the final stretches. Cinthia finished 1482nd overall out of 4907 participants, placing her in the top third of the competitors. In her F25-29 division, she consistently held a position within the top 100 for most splits. A notable strong finish was likely supported by a final mile split time of 8:58. Continuing to focus on maintaining consistent energy expenditure will further enhance her performance.
