Consistent Pacing with an Impressive Finish Angela Shields completed the 2025 Vacation Races at Joshua Tree Half Marathon with an impressive time of 2:35:11, maintaining an overall pace of 11:50 min/mile. Her performance placed her 500th out of 1330 participants, with a notable improvement in her division ranking, finishing 9th in the F55-59 category. Angela's steady pacing throughout the race is noteworthy, starting with an initial mile at 11:27 min/mile, and demonstrating endurance with her fastest mile of 10:50 min/mile in her final stretch. The race saw Angela navigating a consistent pace, particularly shining in miles 6 and 13, where her paces were 10:57 and 10:50 min/mile respectively. This surge at the tail end of the race indicates a strategic reserve of energy. Angela might benefit from slightly pacing the middle miles to consistently lower the overall pace without significant drops in speed. Her ability to finish strongly bodes well for future races.
