Consistent Performance with Strong Division Ranking Antonio Flores demonstrated impressive consistency at the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon. His standout performance in the M25-29 division placed him 3rd out of his division. Flores started strong, securing a pace of 5:26 min/mile in the first mile and holding a top 10 position overall in the early stages. Throughout the race, his pace fluctuated slightly, from 5:26 min/mile at the start to 6:08 min/mile in a couple of sections. However, he maintained a cohesive pacing strategy that resulted in an overall elapsed pace of 5:51 min/mile. Flores's discipline is exemplified by his steady execution. Notably, between mile 9 and 13, he adapted to fatigue, stabilizing around a 6:03-6:08 min/mile range. This consistency reinforces his competitive edge. Improving on his pacing rhythm towards the middle and end segments could potentially yield greater advantages in future races, allowing him to sustain early momentum or chip away at transition challenges post-mile 8.
