Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Al Gomez #4462 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pace with Strong Mid-Race Performance Al Gomez maintained a relatively consistent pacing strategy throughout the half marathon with a standout performance in the second mile at 8:06 min/mile, which was his fastest split. His overall time was 1:51:17, and he averaged an 8:29 min/mile pace. Al's performance saw some fluctuation, particularly in the final stretch, where mile tens pace slowed to 9:22 min/mile. Despite this, he managed a satisfactory conclusion with a final overall place at 905 out of 4907 participants. Al placed 40th in his division of M50-54, displaying competitiveness within his age group. Maintaining a steady pace in the mid-race splits from miles four through nine indicates effective pacing. The final miles presented a slight slowdown, which suggests there could be an opportunity to target sustained energy levels towards the race's closing sections. A focus on maintaining consistent pacing in future races could result in improved time.
