Consistent Pacing, Strong Finish Caroline Schaefer completed the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 2:59:37, covering 13.1 miles at an average pace of 13:42 min/mile. Caroline demonstrated consistent pacing throughout most of the course, with a significant push in the final mile at a pace of 12:13 min/mile. Her overall placement was 3760th out of 4907 total participants, finishing 1555th among females and 228th in the F35-39 division. Caroline's performance showed improvement compared to the 2024 UTHealth Houston 10K, where she completed the race at a 12:59 min/mile pace. Notably, her pace improved during the middle segment of the race, particularly between miles 4 and 5 where she ran her fastest split of 12:18 min/mile. To build on this performance further, focusing on maintaining a steady pace in the latter part of the race, especially between miles 10 and 11, could yield a more consistent overall pace. Keep up the good work!
