Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Ricardo Salazar #8494 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Pace with Continuous Effort Ricardo Salazar maintained a consistent pacing strategy throughout the 10K at the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K. With each mile, he showed dedication to steady pacing, clocking an overall time of 1:26:01, which translates to an average pace of 13:52 min/mile. Notably, his fastest split was mile four, completed in 13:39, indicating a strong ability to maintain form mid-race. Participating as part of Achilles Houston, Ricardo effectively balanced his race efforts with placement 51st in the M45-49 division among 2010 total participants. Analyzing his splits, there's room to consider optimizing his start as the first mile was completed in his fastest time of 13:42, but this was followed by some slowing in the second mile at 14:11. Ricardo managed a slight negative split from miles four to five. Reviewing pacing and race strategy could help decrease variability between the mile splits and potentially improve overall race time.
