Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Shilpa Shinde #3451 Race: 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pacing with Slight Slowdown Shilpa Shinde participated in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon, covering the 13.1-mile course in 2:30:48 with an average pace of 11:30 min/mile. Starting strong with splits at 11:25 for the first mile, there was a noticeable consistency in her pacing as she gradually improved, reaching a peak with an 11:00 min/mile pace by mile five. Her performance placed her 95th in the F45-49 division out of a total of 4907 participants. Towards the end, she experienced a slight slowdown, with her pace dropping to 12:01 min/mile from miles ten to eleven, and finishing with 12:07 and 12:25 in the final miles. This indicates a slight challenge in maintaining the initial pace towards the race conclusion. Comparing her performance to the previous year, a similar finish time suggests strong consistent pacing, but there's potential to focus on sustaining the initial speed in later miles for future races.
