Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Sebastian Pereznegron #8976 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Effort with Room for Tactical Adjustments Sebastian Pereznegron finished the 10K at the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K with a total time of 1:04:46, averaging a pace of 10:26 minutes per mile. Starting strong with a 9:30 minute mile for the first split, his pace gradually decreased, with his slowest mile at an 11:13 pace by the fifth mile. His performance was consistent, maintaining the same rank in gender and division categories in the final miles, indicating a steady pace against his peers, but an opportunity might exist in managing the mid-race pacing for stronger finishes. Sebastian finished 29th in his M20-24 division out of 29, positioning him in the lower rankings among his peers, but valuable race experience was gained. The transition from an early 9:30 pace to a 10:26 average suggests pacing strategy refinement could optimize overall performance. Joining a team like McCarthy Steel Toe Sprinters is positive; team dynamics can provide support to help focus on mid-race pacing consistency.
