Date: Nov. 1, 2025 Participant: Josueisai Lopez #2184 Race: 2025 Vacation Races | Joshua Tree Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Top Performance with a Slight Decline Josueisai Lopez completed the 2025 Joshua Tree Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 1:30:44, maintaining an overall pace of 6:55 min/mile. He started strong, holding 2nd place until the 2-mile mark but settled consistently in 4th place from the 8th mile onward. Notably, he managed to execute a powerful 6:26 min/mile split at mile 6, which was the fastest segment of his race. This burst showed potential for further development in pacing and strategy. In comparison to his 2024 performance at the same event, this year's race reflected a slight decline from a previous finish of 1:26:37 and third overall placing. Maintaining focus on sustaining initial high speeds, which successfully occurred up through mile 13, might assist in preserving position in upcoming races. Reviewing the latter miles where transitions settled may present potential pacing adjustments for future success.
