Consistent Pace with Potential for Strategic Improvements Lashia Hicks participated in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon, recording a final time of 2:34:57 with an average pace of 11:49 min/mile. Racing as part of the BGR! Houston team, Lashia maintained a relatively consistent pace across the 13.1 miles. Notably, her fastest split was the opening mile at 11:04 min/mile, and the average pace gradually increased as the race progressed, reaching its peak at 12:27 min/mile during mile 8. Among 4,907 competitors, Lashia secured the 3132nd position overall, ranking 1167th within the female category and 148th in the F40-44 division. Consider exploring pacing strategies to help optimize the middle miles between 6 to 8 where a deceleration was noticeable. Engaging in focused training on endurance and pacing could enhance race performance in future events.
