Consistent Pace with a Strong Finish Rachel Perez maintained a consistent pace during the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon, finishing in an elapsed time of 2:40:22 and an overall pace of 12:14 min/mile. Her pacing demonstrated steady control, with all but one of her splits falling between 12:07 and 12:29 min/mile. Notably, her quickest split was in the final mile, clocking in at 11:23 min/mile, a strong conclusion that indicated an ability to conserve energy for a strong finish. Compared to her 2024 performance where she completed the race in 2:33:29 with an 11:43 min/mile pace, Rachel has room to refine her strategy for improving overall time. However, her ability to manage a consistent pace throughout the race is commendable. To enhance her performance in future races, focusing on the splits with a slight increase in pace, especially in earlier segments, could contribute to improving her total race time.
