Consistent Performance with a Strong Finish Kartik Sharma maintained a steady pace throughout the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon. Starting with a 10:44 min/mile pace in the first mile, he gradually improved, achieving his fastest split in mile 12 with a 10:04 min/mile pace. His ability to pace himself allowed him to complete the 13.1-mile race with an average pace of 10:31 min/mile, finishing in a time of 2:17:50. Notably, Kartik gained ground in placement during the latter half of the race. He advanced from 2595th at mile 3 to 2357th by the end. In his age division (M45-49), Kartik rose from 144th to a final position of 134th. This demonstrates effective race management and endurance. To further advance, continue working on maintaining or increasing the splits' speed towards the end as you did on mile 12. Well done representing the Katy Area Running Club!
