Consistent Performance With Steady Improvement Manuel Vasquez from Houston, TX, demonstrated a good level of consistency and resilience in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon. With an elapsed time of 2:10:11 and pace of 9:56 min/mile, he maintained a steady performance across the 13.1-mile course. His strong start can be noted in the first half of the race, with splits consistently near or below the 9:30 min/mile pace. Notably, at mile 5, he clocked his fastest split of 9:00 min/mile. Despite some deceleration between miles 8 and 9, where his pace exceeded 12 minutes per mile, Manuel maintained his competitiveness in the M65-69 division, finishing 15th out of 17 in the division. Compared to his previous race, Manuel improved his division finish from 17th to 15th place, and maintained a very close overall pace. Further attention on maintaining a consistent pace in the latter stages could enhance his future performances.
